File Access

[George]

the following code


file.delete(filedetails)
Dim FileStream As StreamWriter = New StreamWriter(filedetails)


produces this error

The process cannot access the file "D:\data.txt" because it is being
used by another process.


Single user XP sp2 pro environment.

I have tried to sleep the process without success, any ideas would be
appreciated.

George,

file.delete(filedetails)
Dim FileStream As StreamWriter = New StreamWriter(filedetails)

Which one creates the error, I assume the first, because I assume that it is
still reading that one. (An often made mistake). I create it in that case
forever it more like this.

sr.close 'streamreader close
file.move(filedetails, mytempfile) 'renaming and saving
Dim FileStream As StreamWriter = New StreamWriter(filedetails)
and when it is ready
file.delete(mytempfile)

I hope this helps,

Cor

Tried the example below, but still receive the same error message after the
"move"

George,

On what line you get the error while debugging?
This can be on every line you know.
