Only thing that looks suspicious to me is the record.

Maybe you should try making it a packed record to prevent any gaps or
so...


I didn't know what packed was - I've looked it up. Even though this is something very useful which I intend to use more often (thanks), I doubt this is the cause of my problems.

In fact, I've just verified it, and it didn't make a difference...


type
TBufferInfo = packed Record // *new*
name : String[255];
size : Int64;
End;

I don't use "file of"... I use TFileStream ;)


Thanks.

and if you were really looking at it close enough you would
of seen that he wasn't creating a file to start with if one
did not exist!


As I've already replied to your other post, it's not meant to create a file. LoadBuffer loads the file only if it exists, SaveBuffer always saves the file.

I still don't understand why I get this exception...

Thanks,

because you close a file that does not exist!
