I am trying to compile an application on Windows 2000 that compiles and runs perfectly OK on Windows 98, but I keep getting the following error message when I try to open a file:-

"Exception EFCreateError in module AlphaView.exe at 000C0ABF. Cannot create file ###." 

Has anybody else out there come across this problem?
Is this something to do with the way Windows 2000 stores files / handles file access permissions?

Your help would be appreciated.

Regards, Dave Smith

Please wrap yout lines manually.

If you compile your application under win98 , then does it run under 2000 ?

Hi Hans,

If I compile the application under Windows 98 I still get the
same error message when I try to run it under Windows 2000.
As for the filename - the error message actually shows three
boxes. 
I wonder - is there a different way of specifying a filename
for a Windows 2000 application / filesystem. The filename
string is currently in the form:-"C:\\Design\\Software\\AlphaViewer\\Configs\\Ac-Tst000a01v01.cfg"

Thanks for your help.

Dave

No that should be the same. But does the path exist ? Do you
have permissions on 2000 to create files ?

To know if the path exists use DirecoryExists() on
"C:\\Design" then on "C:\\Design\\Software" and so on.

You can also  use ForceDirectories() to create all dirs.

And to conclude: you have no problem to compile and link your
application under 2000 but to let it execute.

Hans.

The path definitely exists - and I can create files in the
directory using Windows Explorer.
If I compile, link and run under Windows 2000 I get the
same error as the installed version compiled under Windows 98.
