Thanks for looking that up for me, that's almost the code i used. Changing to 
v4.0 did help one problem i have been having, but not the drive locking 
problem.

It's got 11 gigs free, 5 used, and the dir listing for that "full" dir is under
2
megabytes, so i didn't look at the free clusters. It's also FAT32. And no other 
running app had any problems saving to folders where they live on the drive. I 
gave up getting an answer for this one too, so i am breaking up the file list 
among many many folders. It's gonna be heck merging them from different 
applications across all those directories, instead of a 1-to-1 merge. I am 
using moveFile() in win32fil.ew to move them about, and so far there are no 
complaints of illegal filenames or lengths. I am using dos move command in 
another app with the same path/filename lengths (and longer), like this:
system("move temp.txt "&writefilename, 2)
and no problems there either. So i don't know what the folder file count error 
is about.
