File Access

[George]

the following code
file.delete(filedetails)
Dim FileStream As StreamWriter = New StreamWriter(filedetails)
produces this error

The process cannot access the file "D:\data.txt" because it is being
used by another process.
Single user XP sp2 pro environment.

I have tried to sleep the process without success, any ideas would be
appreciated.

George,

file.delete(filedetails)
Dim FileStream As StreamWriter = New StreamWriter(filedetails)

Which one creates the error, I assume the first, because I assume that it is
still reading that one. (An often made mistake). I create it in that case
forever it more like this.

sr.close 'streamreader close
file.move(filedetails, mytempfile) 'renaming and saving
Dim FileStream As StreamWriter = New StreamWriter(filedetails)
and when it is ready
file.delete(mytempfile)

I hope this helps,

Cor

"move"

George,

On what line you get the error while debugging?
This can be on every line you know.
