Getting an error From Richtextbox1.savefile

[Bso_Cool]

I have designed a word processor with some special features anyways I can save the file one time but then after that I get a fileaccess error saying it is being used by another process but its not the only process was the savefile. Does anyone know whats wrong? Please help!

yes, this is one of those confusing error messages. When it says that, it really means to say: "Failing to ... because the file is being used by this very process or maybe even another process". The typical cause is either one of these: 1. your app has the file still open, i.e. you forgot to dispose of the File, FileStream, or whatever relevant object you used earlier to access that file. 2. another app is busy accessing your file; typical candidates are indexing programs, and AntiVirus programs (both are very interested in fresh files!). If so, all it takes is a few seconds of patience and a retry. :)
