    from MSDN:

    CArchive::Close
    void Close( );
    throw( CArchiveException, CFileException );

    Remarks

    Flushes any data remaining in the buffer, closes the archive, and disconnects the archive from the file. No further operations on the archive are permitted. After you close an archive, you can create another archive for the same file or you can close the file.

    The member function Close ensures that all data is transferred from the archive to the file, and it makes the archive unavailable. To complete the transfer from the file to the storage medium, you must first use CFile::Close and then destroy the CFile object.

    i.e. CArchive::Close does NOT close the related CFile. perhaps your is not a CFile, but MSDN also states:

    CFile( int hFile );
    [...]
    The constructor with one argument creates a CFile object that corresponds to an existing operating-system file identified by hFile. No check is made on the access mode or file type. When the CFile object is destroyed, the operating-system file will not be closed. You must close the file yourself.

      You need to call CFile::Close before CArchive::Close.

        You are wrong. CArchive does not close the file object. This is the source code...

        void CArchive::Close()
        {
        ASSERT_VALID(m_pFile);

        Flush();
        m\_pFile = NULL; // --> Just detaches the file pointer that's all, but doesn't close
        

        }

            Since the following snipped of code works fine on my system:

                CFile file;
            MyObject obj;
            file.Open("foo.txt",CFile::modeWrite|CFile::modeCreate);
            CArchive ar(&file, CArchive::store);
            obj.Serialize(ar);
            ar.Close();
            file.Close();
            

            hope that helps. :confused:

              No I didn't see but still why are you saying that CFile::Close should be called before CArchive:Close. Why what's the reason?

                  Yes. I was wrong. It was not this fp.Close() which was causing the exception. It was another Close(). Anyhow learned a few new things. Thank you all.

                    Yes, it does close CArchive. But not the CFile associated with it.

                    In my opinion the file must be closed after closing the archive. Otherwise it will be impossible to flush the last data kept in an internal buffer of CArchive. If the CFile and CArchive objects are created on the stack, then they will be closed automatically in right order.
