Creating a file with read-only attributes.
Q. My call to FileCreate now gets "Death due to CREATE_BAD_FLAGS" Here's the call fileHan = FileCreate("sample.rec", (FILE_CREATE_TRUNCATE | FCF_NATIVE | FILE_ACCESS_R | FILE_DENY_NONE), FILE_ATTR_NORMAL); A. As stated in the Routines book under FileCreate(), a file cannot be created in read-only mode. You must open it with write access. And, if you open it with write access, you must open it deny-write for others. Try using FILE_ACCESS_RW | FILE_DENY_RW, as shown in the example which accompanies the FileCreate() reference entry.
