For some reason it's not able to create the file "lookup.txt" on this particular computer. The same program works on my other computers running windows xp. However, if I execute "ls -la c:\mydir > c:\mydir\tmp\lookup.txt" in a command prompt, it works fine. Thus it's not a permissions issue... What could be missing on this computer?
