I am running into a problem that has been discussed occasionally

past 6 years, but I can't find a definite solution. It concerns the
"createtextfile" method sometimes returning a NIL object. This
occurs
primarily on Mac OS X 10.3.
The code is essentially:
Dim fi as FolderItem
Dim tos as TextOutputStream
fi = GetFolderItem("Temp.html")
tos = fi.CreateTextFile
tos.write "This is a test"
tos.close
It seems to almost always work on OS X 10.4, by the way, and
always works on
a Windows machine.
Additional information: the file "Temp.html" exists and I am
expecting it to
be overridden. Also, I have added "errNr = fi.LastErrorCode"
after the
GetFolderItem line. When the CreateTextFile method fails and
returns NIL,
the value of errNr is 104.
Any ideas on what is going on and how to fix it?
Thanks,
Ed
I have no problems with the . CreateTextFile method. I use it in
several applications. I am running 10.3.9 on a G4 PPC
However, I check if the file "Temp.html" exists. If it does, I
delete it first,
You can't delete the file! because it is in use (LastErr 104) , that
was the problem... You have to restart your application
