Post the code area which the error is generated.

Sounds like a
A) permissions issue
B) locking issue
C) logic or syntax problem

There are alot of reasons this could be happening. Try here too

write to file failed

I told you in my previous issue that i am able to write file with different name. So definitely not the permission issue
I am trying to overwrite a file that i have opened in binary mode. I have closed the stream before writing to the file.

I think the file is getting locked by the ASP script. but i opened the file in share mode.

by default overwriting an existing file is prohibited. There is a constant you can add to the line where you open the stream that can change that default setting. Show some more of your code (especially the line where you set your stream object) and I might be able to help.

BTW, I tried in the past and couldn't get the ADO.STREAM object to work for saving files to the server. I found a workaround (it's in the ASP Howto section, the title is something about uploading files with ASP) and that might work for you. Let me know if this helps.
