Error writing to a file

[fniles]

For each message that my application receives I write it to a log file.
Since each message is its own thread, many time I get the error "The process
cannot access the file "c:\bestdesk\log\RiskIn051707.txt" because it is
being used by another process." Is there a way to get around this error ? I
can do the same thing in VB6 with no problem. Thank you.

This is how I write to the file:
Sub ProcessEachMessage
Dim swLog As StreamWriter

swLog = New StreamWriter(sPath & "\bestdesk\log\RiskIn" &
Date.Now.ToString("MMddyy") & ".txt", True)
swLog.Write(Now & "NEWTRADE sMessage = " & Message & vbCrLf)
swLog.Close()
swLog = Nothing

fliles,

I am not sure but in Net there is the magic word flush too.

Be always aware that the "Nothing" keyword is to set reference. It has
nothing to do with the real object.

Thanks.
What did you mean by ""Nothing" keyword is to set reference." ?

It does not really remove something beside the reference to it.
