SUMMARY
If you get an error 70 (&quot;Permission denied&quot; error) in the QB.EXE Version 4.50 environment and choose the Help button on the dialog box for error 70, the following partially incorrect Help message displays:

Help: Permission Denied

An attempt was made to write to a write-protected disk, a read-only file, or to access a locked file.

ERR code: 70

The phrase &quot;a read-only file&quot; should be removed in this explanation of error 70. This correction applies to the QB Advisor online Help system for QuickBasic Version 4.50. The message should read as follows:

Help: Permission Denied

An attempt was made to write to a write-protected disk or to access a locked file.

ERR code: 70



MORE INFORMATION
This online Help documentation error was corrected in the QBX.EXE editor in Microsoft Basic Professional Development System (PDS) Version 7.00 for MS-DOS.

To generate the Help message for error 70 in the QuickBasic environment, execute the statement ERROR 70 in the immediate window and choose the Help button in the resulting dialog box.

Note that if a program attempts to write to a read-only file, a &quot;Path/File access error&quot; (ERR code 75) will occur, not a &quot;Permission denied&quot; (ERR code 70) error. You can make a file read-only by using the MS-DOS ATTRIB command (for more information about ATTRIB, see an MS-DOS reference manual).
