(1) You already have it open in a mode that would deny the ability to overwrite the file. This might include having FOPEN()ed or FCREATE()d the file previously using LLFIO and not releasing the file handle.

(2) Under WinNT/2K/XP, not all users have all rights to all folders or files in a given folder. Check the current user's permissions and security rights.

(3) Another user has the file open at the time through a share.

(4) A background task has the file open temporarily - Fast Find and some backup programs have a nasty habit of doing this at unopportune moments.

(5) A cow flew by and distracted the OS Kernel.
