Which brings another thought to mind. FastFiler's (whatever that annoying app is that catalogs your app), as well as anti-virus programs may well open and scan your file.
I was also thinking about the 127-character limit on long filenames and paths on Windows (including directory delimiters and extensions). If your file path and name exceed that limit, FileIO will fail. You can use BuddyAPI's baShortFileName call to work around that.
