I've made a script (http://www.codingforums.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=5366) and it worked for a while but now I'm getting permission denied errors from PWS when I try to use it.

heh. acronyms confuse me.

have you tried kicking the computer?

i frequently find that i overlook the obvious when i run into problems. did you recently change any settings, set up a new .htacces file, forget to appease the appropriate gods of file access? the things that you immediately ruled out because they were just plain impossible? i say try checking those.

Oh, the good old restart. Back in the school lab tests, I used to call it "I'm fed-up -booting" in documentation. Nearly every time it worked when no other options were available..although my professor didn't accept the term at all :D

ahhh, I figured it out,the file i was trying to write to "dropped.htm" is some how protected but the read-only thingy is not chedcked it can't be edited or deleted either in windows onr in dos which makes it a pain, i havew even tried to delete the folder that it is in but i just won't work which is really as pain from me, so i just made it a hidden file so It won't bother me.

But the really weird thing is that it is 0kb not even 1b ...:confused: windows strikes again.

open a command prompt, and try to delete it there.

also, don't just let this go. this file became protected ( or corrupted ) while you were working on it. it could very well be your code that did it. keep your eyes open as you play with this: it could happen again.

it is my code that did it, I've replicated the exact conditions and I now know how to corrupt my files nice and easy...How do I get rid of em?

I should probably post this in the asp forum so I will...
