You should try <file> = null; in order to close it... /Jens _____
From: Axapta-Knowledge-Village@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of paulinavk Sent: Monday, December 03, 2007 8:20 AM To: Axapta-Knowledge-Village@yahoogroups.com Subject: [Axapta-Knowledge-Village] Renaming a file from AX I have a utility that searches a directory for files, processes a text file (opened as textio) and then must rename it so it doesn't process it next time. I have tried the WINAPI::movefile(filename,newname) but it does nothing. I'm assuming that it's because my utility still has the file open (if I run the rename as a job it works fine) but I can't see an obvious way to ensure the file is closed. Any hints would be appreciated. Paulina [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
