Trouble writing a file

2004-10-12 Thread Pascal Peters
Does anybody know why can't write a file called com1.htm in an existing directory with the right permissions? This happens only on windows machines (win 2k & XP) with CF4.5 and CF5 (haven't tested with CFMX). It writes the file ok on a linux box. Other files (like reg1.htm) are written correctly,
