Howdy folks,

Ok I can't duplicate the problem in a another (smaller) program.
Opening 2 files at once works fine. 
Also on my main program I modified it so that it would not have 
both open at the same time and the problem still persists. 
I'm sure it's something really obvious and simple in my logic but 
I just can't see it. 

Basically the error I get is that a file number is -1 
which means the file open statement didn't work. 
I just cant figure out why! 
The path I try to open is assembled by the program from sequences 
but I know the path is correct because I wrote it to another file 
(which opened fine) then opened that file and copied it to the 
command line edit comand and it opened the file fine from edit too.

Any suggestions folks? If I post the whole program it's large and 
multiple files and requires Euallegro and some bitmaps and other files. 
What could cause an }}}
<eucode>open( path, "r" )</eucode>
{{{
 statement to 
not work?

help!
