Okay Ive been working on a tile system and its now time to make an editor, Ive got this logger which logs errors, now its never failed before but now for some reason while using MFC it is doing wierd stuff, i was wondering if anyone could tell me that it could be a clash in the mfc code and mine? or its just a wierd error?, anyways heres the code

  
//======================================//

// Prints a formatted message to the file

//======================================//

void CLog::Print(char *text, ...)
{
	char buffer[256];
	
	//clear buffer

	memset(buffer,''\0'',256);

	// Combine args with the string

	va_list args;
	va_start(args, text);
	vsprintf(buffer, text, args);
	va_end(args);


	m_File = fopen(m_Filename,"a+");

	fprintf(m_File,buffer);

	fprintf(m_File,"\n");

	fclose(m_File);
}

Okay, Now ive stepped though it in the debugger several times, the first call to that function succeeds and the second doesnt. fopen fails on the second call. m_Filename never changes, and buffer is of a valid length < 256, ive also tried a and a+ for the file open settings. Heh anyone?

I had a similar problem with a school project some time ago, I had to look in the config.sys file and see how many files and buffers I had available, turns out I only increased the file''s number and it stop having problems, maybe you could try it...
