      Hi guys thanks for responding. The break is there because all of this is actually in a case statement. I pulled it out of the case and it still doesn't work. If I run file.exists(), the file exists, and it also shows me the absolutepath with FileInfo, but I am unable to find the file on my computer.

      What the hell is going on? I have hidden files shown and OS files unhidden.

      I'm stumped.

        Again: what error does QFile::error() return if open fails ?

            The open does not fail.

                From the QFile documentation:[quote]QFile expects the file separator to be '/' regardless of operating system. The use of other separators (e.g., '') is not supported.[/quote]

                  Tried it, no luck.

                  I'm using windows xp, and Windows 7. Both builds don't produce the file.

                    I FINALLY FIGURED IT OUT. It's and antivirus thing. AVAST wasn't letting me create the file. Shit balls. I wasted 2 days on that issue.

                      Ouch! I'm glad you've found a solution.
