CopyFile asynchronous? Or at least lock a the file?

Consisder the code snippet:

  if not CopyFile(PChar(PDFFilename), PChar(LocalFilename), False) then
   raise Exception.Create('Error copying quote PDF to temporary folder:
'+Localfilename+CRLF+
    'From server location: '+PDFFilename);

  if not FileExists(LocalFilename) then
   raise Exception.Create('Error copying quote PDF to temporary folder:
'+LocalFilename);


i am getting the 2nd exception. CopyFile suceeded, but FileExists insists
teh file isnt' there.

What's the best way to work around this?
