Hi all,
I am getting a strange LastErrorCode after attempting
(unsuccesfully) to delete an invisible file placed in
the application support folder. The code is as simple
as this:
f=ApplicationSupportFolder.child("blah").child(".blah
Reg")
if f.exists then
f.Delete
MsgBox str(f.LastErrorCode)
end if
The problem is that I cannot delete it; furthermore,
the lasterrorcode is -5000, which is not one of the
possible errors listed in the RB's language reference
for lasterrorcode. Any ideas?
If it's a non-standard error, it will be whatever the OS tells us it
is. In this case, MacErrors.h shows:
afpAccessDenied = -5000, /* Insufficient access
privileges for operation */
So, I'm guessing your program doesn't have enough permissions to delete
the file.
HTH,
Jon
