Problem with print to file. Runtime error 54

[Sorwen]

I use the following code in another database and it works fine. I'm trying to use it in a new database and I get a runtime error 54

Function WriteFile(FileName As String, FileData As String) As Boolean
Dim FileNumber As Integer
    
    FileNumber = FreeFile
    
    Open FileName For Binary Access Write As #FileNumber
    Print #FileNumber, FileData
    Close #FileNumber
    
End Function

I've used both Print and Write and get the same error.

Have you sufficient credential for writing ?

Yes. I have full for were I'm writing to and to the file itself.

"For Binary, you want Put() and Get()."
I'll Try Put and Get, but I had no problem when I used it before and if I run that database it still works fine.

Put worked fine. Why the other works fine I have no clue.
