What situations prevent fopen from opening a file? Thanks
I suppose there are a few...
It might be open already
It might be in a folder that does not exist
It might be in a folder where the access rights are limited
It might exist and be read-only
Off the top of my head...

Lifesupport,
Perhaps you could tell us exactly what problem you are experiencing, and we can try to diagnose it.

Thanks for the replies. It has been working all along. I made changes elsewhere in the application that shouldn't effect this at all and now it won't open. I checked the path of the file it's opening and it's correct as the file it's looking for is in the same folder as the application.

I went and checked the application again today. Today it works within the VFP design atmosphere, but not as an executable.

If you're making changes elsewhere in the app, and therefore running the app from the IDE, it's possible that the file cannot be opened because it's still open from a previous execution of the app that didn't properly FCLOSE the file. If this is the case, the IDE still may have the file open.
