I have been trying various things - so far with no success. The issue appears to be more complex than I thought. The application displays html documents sequentially when the user clicks a "Next" button. When the button is clicked, the application grabs the next html document, writes it to the Temp.html file, then displays it in an html viewer control.
The problem arises if the user clicks the "Next" button quickly (on a slow machine), in which case the application tries to display the next document. It may be that the html viewer control is still in the process of displaying the document at the same time the code is trying to write the next html file. I am trying a number of things, including disallowing the "next" button to be clicked until the html DocumentComplete event fires, but so far no good. At the point that the CreateTextFile method returns a nil value, the folder item does not show as locked and read and write are both enabled, so I am not sure why the file is considered locked.

Perhaps you have more than one reference to it, and you've closed one but not the other. FWIW, I use CreateTextFile all the time and have never had any problems with it (except when the file is already open, as described).
