Ok, I did a search for this and couldn't find it. Sometimes when I am in the Cimco editor, it tells me it can't save the file because it is being used by another process. I don't use any of the tranmission features, so there aren't any other processes open. Anybody seen this before?

Storkman, you sure nobody is tracking your activities

If on network, maybe somebody else has the file open?

[Storkman]

LOL! I certainly hope they are tracking me.

I only get the error when I am sending the program to a machine.

It doesn't matter what program you use to send it.

If I'm sending a file and try to edit it, Cimco gives that same message when I try to save it. If I click Manual> select the correct machine (port) > Stop, then Cimco will let me save the changes.

If you're not using any of the transmit features, I don't know why you still get the error message. It could be as Rob suggests with the file being open somewhere else on the network. Or if you are sending it with a different comm program I think you still get the error when you try to save. I'd be interested to know if you find out the cause.

 

Jim teh always sends teh machine #1 program to machine #2...

I used to get that message in Win2k all the time and I was not sending to a machine.

 

If you use the editor to save a file, I think Windows puts it in the buffer and won't let it go until a reboot is done to clear memory.

 

To stop the error, I would just edit in in DOS or use the editor in CNCEdit....

 

I think it's a Win2k/editor glitch.....

 

I never get it anymore in XP....
