Hi!
I'm using the following to create a file (if it's not already present) 
to write strings to. When I do so, I get an error stating that the file 
cannot be accessed because it's in use by another process.

string saveFile = @"..\..\myStringFile.txt";
File.Create( saveFile );
myFlexGrid.SaveGrid( saveFile, FileFormatEnum.TextComma );


What is that process and how do I fix it?

Thank you for any and all help.

John F.
