<div>
From Delphi Help: &quot;fmCreate &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;- ... If a file with the given name exists, open the file in write mode.&quot;<br />
I understand that if it do not exists, the function only creates it but do not open it.<br />
You should call<br />
tfilestream.Create('c:\tem<wbr />p.tmp', fmcreate AND fmOpenWrite);<br />
or <br />
tfilestream.Create('c:\tem<wbr />p.tmp', fmcreate OR fmOpenWrite);<br />
Something like this.<br />
Hope this help!!

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I have a tmemorystream and I want to copy it to a tfilestream but I am getting stream read error.<br />
<br />
quick and dirty example:<br />
<br />
new.stream:=tfilestream.Cr<wbr />eate('c:\t<wbr />emp.tmp', fmcreate);<br />
new.stream.copyfrom(memstr<wbr />eam, memstream.size);<br />
<br />
Shouldn't this copy the contents of memstream to the filestream?
