File modified outside of source editor??

[sagn]

Hi

I am using Compaq Visual Fortran, usually without incedent.
Now, after I compile a file a message comes up saying
the file was modified outside of the source editor and asking if I wish to reload it.

Why is this happening? The file is modified within CVF,
it is compiled. No-one else is accessing the file, it is not in source safe... in fact it was just created.

This is quite annoying. Anyone know why? And if so, how can I get it to stop?

thanks!

It is probably a file that the IDE thinks you have open, like the .mod file. If you close all files and reopen whatever file you're looking at, it might stop.

This sort of behaviour is normally exhibited by autogenerated files which have to be compiled.

Thanks. I tried to close everything but I still get it.
ugh...!

OK. An update.

I think I discovered the problem. The code I was writing
I placed in our company drive which may also be on our webserver and was not local. There may be some sort of virus checking or something to do with the fact its a webserver that causes the problem.


Anyway, Having moved the folder locally I no longer get that message.

ha!
