Hi Mike,

I agree with Buck. The starting point for troubleshooting errors on the open() API is to check the value of errno. Then, pass the value of errno to strerror() to get a nice error message. This should be done any time an IFS API fails so that you can provide meaningful information about the error.

If you still can't figure out the problem, post the error message and/or value of errno to this forum. But, without that basic piece of information, there's little we can do to help you.

File /pfflr/tstprf.txt will open, but
File /pdfflr/snapiiiwf.txt will not.
