http.download error - Data source write error

[yss]

I get this "Data source write error" when I try to download a file that is on the remote server.
The file is there, and the line I use is correct.

Anybody knows what this is about?

Thanks

http.download error

Here is the code, sorry

HTTP.Download("http://www.xxxxx.com/dir/dir1/file1.zip", CommonFiles.."\dir\dir1\file1.zip", MODE_TEXT, 20, 80, nil, nil, nil);

What is the variable 'CommonFiles'? Unless you've established this earlier, that's not a global variable. Also, since it's a zip file, use MODE_BINARY instead of MODE_TEXT (MODE_TEXT being mainly ascii type files).

Try to use Application.GetLastError (a lot) ....and also do variouis checks before you establish a final resting place for the downloaded file. ie, try the c:\\ drive first, then work from there.

Found the problem

Thanks Ron :yes
Found the problem, it was a:

StatusDlg.Show(MB_ICONINFORMATION, true)

line, it was before the code i have. I converted it to:

StatusDlg.Show(MB_ICONINFORMATION, false)

And now it works, I wonder what was wrong with the other code (true), but it will do for now.

Thanks again,
Joe
