JG> I believe that I have found a contradiction in the JG> documentation of CFile, regarding whether destroying an JG> open CFile will cause the associated operating system file JG> to be closed. JG> JG> Which one is right? They both are :). Actually, if the ctor CFile::CFile( int hFile ) is used (in other words, a CFile object is attached to an existing open file), CFile::~CFile() will *not* close it. Otherwise, if the file is opened by CFile::Open(), it *will* be closed by the dtor. (Check out the source file FILECORE.CPP and note the m_bCloseOnDelete member of CFile). gc Norman, Oklahoma USA — "Is that a *real* poncho or is that a *Sears* poncho?"
