Opening File Dialog error



I've run into a problem where when a script is opening a QuarkXPress
6.5 document, sometimes the user on another machine has it open (the
file resides on a server) and I get this dialog:

File is locked [-54]

Is there a way to get around this dialog without using GUI scripting?
I can put a 'timeout' block around the open statement like so:

	try
		with timeout of 4 seconds
			open file filePath
		end timeout
  -- Use gui to look for error window and try to click 'ok' button...
	on error

	end try

And that lets the script continue, but I'd like to avoid using gui
scripting if possible.

Thanks.

Jay
