i/o error 183 really is &quot;Directory already exists&quot;. Prior in my code I issued a {$I-} followed by a series of MkDir commands containing paths that Already exist. Since I forgot to perform IOResult following the MKDir, the error propageted into the next i/o call; or ReWrite. I/O Error 183 was actually occuring on the MkDir function call. A call to IOResult would have cleared it.....thanks to all.... alan<br />

You paid a big for that one then, hope you can make use of my hints then selsewhere.<br />
<br />
I didn't know that Error, I haven't had the problem before, but instead of using the {$I-} directive, &nbsp;use the Try-Except block instead. You may be able to write more user.friendly code then.<br />

just started geting i/o error 183 to a program that has been working for years!. Using delphi 2.0 and DBF files; trying to perform a rewrite following and AssignFile to a textfile var on a unique filename. The file name has a full path defined to a directory that does exists on a drive that does exist. This occurs on the local drive (non-networked) on either a windows nt client or a windows 95 client. I can't find any docs on this......
