Hi Rich,
Windows NT Error 5 means that access to the file is denied because some
other process is using it. My guess in your case is that your process that
serves up the CFCONTENT is the one that has the file open, therefore your
line of code which attempts to delete it can't because it is open. When you
use CFFILE to delete the file it probably isn't in use (open). Does this
make sense based on your code?
Does anyone know how to capture these types of errors from NT when working
with files? I have a similar problem when a user views a file on the server
and then uploads a newer version with the same name (this is a requirement).
Sometimes NT doesn't release the first version fast enough and Error 5 is
thrown when the my code attempts to overwrite it with the newer version.
Any ideas?
