>I'm trying to close a file created with "fcreate()" by using "fclose()", but it's not working (return .f.). Are there any common reasons for this? The file is being created (with a proper handle), but I just can't close it.

I've never seen that. I've had problems opening/creating one. Are you passing the correct file handle to fclose()? Also, are you creating a local file or a file on a network drive?
