Re: editor

I guess you've got a real permissions problem. Do you have an afiedt.buf file in the current directory -- if so, its permissions probably don't allow you to overwrite it. You need to correct this.

Or maybe that drive is read-only, or maybe it's full. In any event, this message usually means Oracle has asked NT to create the file, and NT has a problem doing so. Find out why.
