Hi agian, excatly the same thing happens with fileXtra 4, so i've now come to the conclusion that fileIO can be relied on NOT to work properly if you use some other xtra which access the file system in some way as it always thinks the file just deleted in fact still exists if the circumstances i've described in the previous posts occur. I've redone my file writing with the Propsave xtra and it now works as i would expect ! thanks for suggestions.
Enrique i found the error meesage code very useful in finding out what was happening with my fileIO problem filestatus = status(instance) alert schedulefile.error(instance) Lee Blinco Multimedia Developer AVR Productions +44 (0)1462 819603 [To remove yourself from this list, or to change to digest mode, go to http://www.penworks.com/lingo-l.cgi To post messages to the list, email [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Problems, email [EMAIL PROTECTED]).
