No, target does not already exist, nor open anywhere else. I'm trying to create to the local harddrive (c:\temp\) folder.
Is very confusing and, unfortunately, one of the few entries where Fox help is not much.
>Does the target file already exist? Is it open in another process? fcreate() will fail if it cannot create the new file at the OS level (meaning another process has it open). It could be marked read-only. It could be on a network resource where your rights to that directory have changed. Could be a great many things.
