After several successful attempts to run program, I
get a LNK 1168 error "Cannot open Debug/myfile.exe for
writing".

What can be done???
 
It typically means that the file is open - the exe is running, you've opened it in quick view, whatever... :) Hope that this helped! ;-)
 

Hello DaveTips

I have checked if EXE fil is open and found none.
What can be done?

Well it's unlikely the file is really marked read-only, unless you've copied it from a CD backup or something, although you could always look in Explorer. Sometimes things like this happen if you cancel a prog in Task Manager, which means restarting the machine to correct Windows' erroneous ideas. This kind of thing more often happens with DLLs which are in use somewhere. :) Hope that this helped! ;-)
