texte = I have a problem with a writefile context on a web page that I'm working on for a company that is using online job applications for employment on a secure server.   I've built a database of available jobs that pulls up in a table on the page empindex.tpl. When you click on one of the jobs, it routes to a secure server and provides you with an online application to fill out. After they've filled it out and submitted it a thankyou.tpl page is posted. Included in this page is the WriteFile context which writes an HTML page of the application to a jobs folder in the same directory.  There are also two include tags in this thankyou.tpl file. One is a file containing a sendmail context which sends a confirmation to the applicant, the other is a file containing another sendmail context which sends a notification to the company.  This email contains a direct link to the application (the application is named with the name and phone number of the applicant so that if an applicant applied with the same name as someone else the writefile context won't write over the first one) on the secure server that was just filled out.  Both the sendmails work fine, but my problem is this:  Most of the time the file is written fine and works great, but occasionally one does not get written at all (1 out of 10, maybe).  I've looked on the server to see if it wrote it outside of the jobs folder and it is nowhere to be found.  I can't narrow it down to a browser specific problem either.  At first it was thought to be an AOL problem, but the longer it's up the more files don't get written and they are not all from AOL They are from all over.  I've been straining on this for days now.  The following is the basics of the writeFile context I've written and the include tags...
