What are the exact error messages you get when it's "not there"? Which version of Windoze? Is it one of the ones where you actually have some kind of control over user priveleges on reading/writing directories and files? What permissions are on 'dealing'? Is 'dealing' really 'dealing' or is it 'Dealing', or maybe 'DEALING' or even 'DeAlInG'? :-) I don't think PHP can force Windows to be case-sensitive, but... Also try it with just c:/pdf_reports/dealing/test.txt All those \\ and Windoze crap is ugly anyway. :-) -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm
