Whenever any stack is opened, it creates (from a preopencard script) a Busy*.txt file, such as "BusypaymentReceipt.txt". This is to prevent more than one person accessing a stack at a time.
All of the stacks have in their closestack script that which deletes the Busy file, for instance:


if there is a file "BusypaymentReceipt.txt" then delete file "BusypaymentReceipt.txt"

This almost always works perfectly, but sometimes, a closing stack for some reason fails to delete its Busy file. I can manually delete the file if needed, but that's obviously not what I intended, and I certainly don't want to ask anyone else to do so! Does anyone have any ideas why the busy file deletion is not entirely reliable? Script problem?

I don't know why it isn't working, but if you check "the result" after deleting, you might be able to see why.
Then if it has failed, your script could wait a few ticks and try again.


Are you sure the default folder is set correctly? Maybe it is looking for the file in the wrong place?

Cheers,
Sarah
