Hi all,
this might be a really easy thing to fix, but i will be damned if i can find it. i am opening a text file with fopen() stepping through with fgets() and at the end doing an fclose().
all is well here until the second time i run it. fopen() fails as if it is still open in the environment. if i close VFP (6) and start it up again i can run the program though again with a successful fopen(). the VFP environment must still be holding a reference to it.
i have tried clear all, clear programs, clear resources, clear memory, release all, release all extended to try and remove the reference but to no avail.
any ideas? it is very tedious close VFP everytime i need to run the program.
