deleting memory mapped files

[ahoodin]

I am attempting to delete a memory mapped file when I close down my data server.

if(hMMF != NULL)
{
if (!CloseHandle(hMMF))
lerror(GetLastError());
hMMF = NULL;
}

HFILE_ERROR ==OpenFile("TESTMMF.DAT",&of,OF_DELETE);

every other time the file stays. I did try to do a DeleteFile() operation and received:
Access denied error.

Has anybody else seen this type of problem?

you have a double equals here... dunno if that is a problem

Have you tried "UnmapViewOfFile" ??? Also to create it did you try CreatFileMapping followed by a mapViewOfFile?

thx Matt.

I have obtained the answer.

If I pass NULL to the original CreateFile, then I get a temporary file that is backed up by a pagefile. Also I can use DELETE_ON_CL0SE option with the call to CreateFile if I choose to use a file name.

thx,
