Ok, that's clear. Charles was on the right track--you just need to close the file you just deleted. Try this: on exitFrame me schedulefile=new(xtra "fileio") openFile(schedulefile, "tempschedule.txt", 0) delete(schedulefile) closeFile(schedulefile) <-- you need to close it createFile(schedulefile, "tempschedule.txt") filestatus=status(schedulefile) alert schedulefile.error(filestatus) delete(schedulefile) closeFile(schedulefile) set schedulefile=0 end You might also want to use the global gresult you set in frame 10. E.g., openFile(schedulefile, gresult, 0) > I cant see either fileXtra4 or PropSave Xtra > on macromedias xtra listing - where are they available ? I haven't used the PropSave Xtra, but the fileXtra 4 is available from Kent Kersten at http://kblab.net/xtras/FileXtra4/. Remarkably, especially considering what a great Xtra it is, it's still free.
