You might consider writing the file to a different name, then when it's done, rename it over to the name you're waiting for. Or you might try pausing for some period of time after waiting, so you give the other process time to finish writing. That's how ICVerify works on PCs.Technical Support ********************************** Smith Micro, Internet Solutions Div | eCommerce (WebCatalog) 16855 West Bernardo Drive, #380 | ------------------------- San Diego, CA 92127 | Software & Site Development WebCatalog Support: (858) 675-0632 | http://www.smithmicro.com Fax: (858) 675-0372 **********************************------------------------------------------------------------- This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list .
