Hi Bill,

Taking a tablespace offline on windows does not seem to remove the lock that
Oracle has on it.
When a file is open, the process has a lock (don't know the windows
technical term for the
type of lock)

Just tested this on my laptop:  took 10g tablespace EXAMPLE offline, and the
handle utility
(from Sys Internals toolkit) shows that the EXAMPLE files are still open by
Oracle:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
oracle.exe pid: 2848 NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM
   c: File          C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32
  d8: Section       \BaseNamedObjects\*oraspawn_buffer_ts50*
  f4: Section       \BaseNamedObjects\ShimSharedMemory
...

I've never restored a tablespace on Windows, but it appears that your
procedure may need to be modified a bit.

Have you tried restoring the tablespace with Oracle in mount mode?

Our resident RMAN expert (Robert Freeman) may know the answer to this.
