"unable to open file error"

[wesb]

first of all, love autoit...i have recently run into a problem with running scripts on some machines. I get the error "Unable to open file". i have rewritten the script on one occasion in ver 2.64 and it ran fine. I didnot do that with this one i just wrote. It ran fine on one WinXP machine SP1 patched but did not run on another same image as the first. Any ideas?? I even ran other 3.0 scripts on the failed machine and they ran fine. thanks,

$exists = fileexists("c:\windows\options\Office2003\Logs\oabsize.txt")

if $exists <>1 then

$oabsize = FileOpen("c:\windows\options\Office2003\Logs\oabsize.txt", 1)

;  Check if file opened for reading OK

If $oabsize = -1 Then

    MsgBox(0, "Error", "Unable to open file.")

    Exit

EndIf

filewriteline($oabsize, "")

filewriteline($oabsize, "This is a list of actual PST sizes taken before and after a supposed daily OAB download in Office 2003.")

filewriteline($oabsize, "Across the top is the file names and the resulting numbers below each file name are the date, time and file sizes.")

filewriteline($oabsize, @ComputerName)

filewriteline($oabsize, "Date & Time" & @TAB & @TAB & @TAB & "Browse.OAB" & @TAB & "ANRDEX.OAB" & @TAB & "PDNDEX.OAB" & @TAB & "DETAILS.OAB" & @TAB & "RDNDEX.OAB")

filewriteline($oabsize, "")

fileclose($oabsize)

endif

$oabsize = FileOpen("c:\windows\options\Office2003\Logs\oabsize.txt", 1)

;  Check if file opened for reading OK

If $oabsize = -1 Then

    MsgBox(0, "Error", "Unable to open file.")

    Exit

EndIf

$folder=(@userprofiledir & "\outlook\")

;msgbox(0,"this is in", "this is in the " & $folder & " dir")

;exit

$Browse=FileGetSize($folder & "browse.oab")

$ANRDEX=FileGetSize($folder & "anrdex.oab")

$PDNDEX=FileGetSize($folder & "pdndex.oab")

$Details=FileGetSize($folder & "details.oab")

$RDNDEX=FileGetSize($folder & "rdndex.oab")

fileWriteLine($oabsize, @mon & "/" & @mday & " " & @hour & ":" & @min & ":" & @SEC & @TAB & @TAB & $browse & @TAB & @TAB & $anrdex & @TAB & $pdndex & @TAB & @TAB & $details & @TAB & $rdndex)

fileclose($oabsize)

First: v2-->v3 Converter.

Maybe...the file is opened for another process.(Read-Only)

Are you sure the Path exists ? (c:\windows\options\Office2003\Logs\)

Which of the fileOpen statements fail ?

If I undestand well if the file does not exist you try to open it.

It should never work.

$exists = fileexists("c:\windows\options\Office2003\Logs\oabsize.txt")
if $exists <>1 then

if the file does not exist "$exists" will be set to 0 and the then clause will be executed

Which version of AutoIt3 are you running?
