Robocopy copies open excel files?

Hi

I need to set up a way to have files copied to another folder as soon as they are created.

To prevent modifications, only new files has to be copied, i.e. I don't copy files already existing in the destination.

It seemed rather easy with Robocopy but... I had a bad surprise when testing: if I create a new Excel file and keep it open, both the file and the temp files are copied as well...  I knew that Robocopy doesn't copy open files, but in this case that's what happened. Anybody can help me?

The command is:

robocopy E:\R130\work E:\R130\archive /E /XC /XO /XN /MOT:1 /LOG+:LogCopy.txt

Thanks a lot
