CFFILE error message

[emms]

when trying to write a file using the following code the error message - "There was a sharing violation" appears. The file is already there but even so this shouldn't be causing the message.

code:
<cffile ACTION=&quot;Write&quot;
&quot;d:\inetpub\

http://wwwroot\webfiles\works\#name#.htm&quot;

OUTPUT=&quot;#cfhttp.FileContent#&quot;
nameconflict=&quot;OVERWRITE&quot;
addnewline=&quot;Yes&quot;>

thanks for any help you can give

Sya, are you tring to read and write the same file?

Perhaps pre setting the cfhttp.FileContent to a variable before writing it will help?

I have noticed that on NT with IIS, the browser can somehow maintain a connection to the server and keep a file locked. I believe this is due to the browser utilizing a connection &quot;keep-alive&quot;. If someone is viewing the file in a web browser, it's possible their browser is keeping the file locked. I've never spent any time investigating it but have found that closing out Netscape on a number of occasions would instantly cause a file or directory to become changeable when previous attempts to delete or rename would give an error.

Also, as CF is multi-threaded, on a busy server it's conceivable that two instances of your script are trying to write the file at the same time.

Hope this helps,
