Re: [DUG] renamefile failure reason

Hi Tracey, two possible reasons could be that either the file is in use, or that you or the process during the renaming does not have the permissions necessary to perform he rename.

Subject: [DUG] renamefile failure reason

Hi all

I am using Renamefile to upload and update documents to my web server.

With some files (not all) the renamefile I use to back up the file is failing, although the file name is unique, and I am trying to find out why.

Is there some way to return the reason for failure?

sDatExtension := StringReplace(FieldByName('UploadDate').AsString, '/', '',

                    [rfReplaceAll]);

sBackupName := ChangeFileExt(sDatExtension + FieldByName('FileName').AsString, '.bak');   //turns leeme.txt to �20050527leeme.bak�

if not ReNameFile(sEntireFilePath + FieldByName('FileName').AsString, sEntireFilePath + sBackupName) then

                    sErrorString := sErrorString +

                        'Could not rename actual file on Disk. Please notify OSMOS Admin. ' + sEntireFilePath + sBackupName;

Produces this message:

Could not rename actual file on Disk. Please notify OSMOS Admin. c:\Apache2\incdocs\otherfolder\othersubfolder\24052005Leeme.bak

The path exists, and the .bak file does not. What could be my error?

Thanks

Tracey
