You're right, off course. When I wrote that I was only thinking on Windows CE, which don't implement the FILE_SHARE_DELETE mode (at least for CE <=4.2, not sure about the 5.0 version). But note that the flag only exists on NT, not on Win9x (which can be considered obsolete now, but was important enough to make me never use it before). Best regards, ~Nuno Lucas
