Hi Michael --

The only time I've seen this is when the EXE was in use by another on a LAN. Try using ATTRIB or whatever LAN tools you have to see what the current rights setting are to the file. If it's a local file, is it possible that the directory is shared through the LAN? If you have the EXE on your C: disk you can always try to physically delete it and then recompile.
