>I'm getting a file access denied message when I try to open certain text files on our network using my Fox 6 text editor. I own these files and can open them with every other editor (Notepad etc) . This only happens with the files on one of our file servers - the rest are fine. We're running Novell 4.12 sp 6.0, and 4.81 on the client.

Haven't used Novell for a number of years now, but here's a possible workaround: use filetostr() and strtofile() to create a copy, edit the copy, and use the same process to write the copy back. The point with FileToStr() is that it doesn't care about the file being in use by someone else - it managed to copy an excel file while was open in excel, and Append From failed to do that. So I figure this may work in your case as well.
