Here is my code

IF FILE('C:\Swini.txt')= .F. && Does file exist?
= FCREATE('C:\Swini.txt') && If not create it
ELSE
gnFileHandle = FOPEN('C:\Swini.txt',0)
nSize = FSEEK(gnFileHandle, 0, 2) && Move pointer to EOF
IF nSize > 0
= FSEEK(gnFileHandle, 0, 0) && Move pointer to BOF
.txtbxdefault.Value = Alltrim(FREAD(gnFileHandle, nSize))
ENDIF
ENDIF
= FCLOSE(gnFileHandle)

However, next time I need to execute the same routine, fopen() returns -1, even though the file is not open. Thus, how can I open the file using fopen()
