CopyFile error code -9

[Pius]

Hi

I got recently the error code -9 from the CVI function CopyFile.

But in the Help description, it ends at -8.

Can anyone tell me what the return -9 means?

I use CVI 2013 SP2.

Best Regards

Pius

maybe show us the line corresponding of this error message

this is the line 58:

iResult = CopyFile (cSource, cTarget);

The file wasn't copied, when the error -9 appeared.

May be the file was opened by another application, but normally I can copy even then.

I just wonder, why the help is not helping

RenameFile uses the same error codes as CopyFile, plus it specifies that an error code of -9 means "New file already exists".

I would guess that your target file is either open in another application or set to read-only.
