Question

A sharing violation occurred...

A sharing violation occurred while accessing C:...\MFC136.tmp

This happens nearly every time I edit a page and then F12 it to preview
(and save it).

It then brings up the Save As dialog box and I have to save the file as
if it doesn't exist. Weird.

Any way to get rid of this error?

    Does it happen with a new site definition setup something like this (local
    folder on your C: drive, no remote folders)?:

    Local Root Folder: C:\dw_sites\my_site
    Remote Folder: none
    Testing Server: none

    Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling Dreamweaver following the steps
    in these TechNotes?:

    As Murray mentioned, please contact tech support. It would also be helpful
    if you could submit a bug report:

    Yes, same result when it's on the server.

    NO problem when it's on MY computer.

    No, just did a basic Windows uninstall and reinstall. Did not delete all user info etc. Will try all that later. $&(*%#

    Also put in a report to Adobe for support - we'll see.

    rant
    Why is it always so flippin' hard? I've been dealing with computers heavy since 1986, and I think it's getting worse not better. Maybe I'll go back to being a mechanic, at least then problems were always solvable!
    /rant - still depressed.

    Hi all,

    Even i have the same problem. When i try to save a file it shows a error "A sharing violation occurred while accessing E:\.....\MFC107.tmp. Also, it deletes the file which i try to save. So i need to save the file in the same location again. It happens both in DW 8 and DW MX.

    Can anybody help in this issue?

    -----------------------------------------------------
    Exact same problem. System WAS working fine for many months, no changes other than usual MS patches.

    Details:

    WinXP with all patches.
    My "local files" is on a network box running win2k with the website files in a shared folder, to my computer it's W:. Whenever I save a file in DW8, same as above:

    A sharing violation occurred while accessing w:\mysite\MVFxxx.tmp

    Click ok, and the file I was saving is wiped out. Re-saving as a new file works fine. Save it again, and all over again. I have DW MX on a separate computer, and it works fine, no problems, accessing the same files etc.

    Interestingly, sometimes - usually - it takes a minute or two or more to finally get around to announcing the violation, (hourglass in the meantime,) with one of two DIFFERENT windows sounds. A "tink" and a "dum!" - best I can do... ;)

    Anything that seems to use the win explorer module is also "stuck" in the meantime. Other programs work fine.

    No, I don't have the file open anywhere else with any other program. Only possible culprit is antivirus, Trend Micro Internet Security on all three computers. BUT I turned it off completely on the server, and no help, so unlikely.

    Since it works fine on the other computer running DWMX, why not on mine? DW8...

    So I uninstalled and reinstalled DW8, and installed the two patches, one at a time, and same problem - though I didn't test without a patch at all - it WAS working!

    Searching the net this seems to be a common problem going back for years, intermittently. And I've yet to see an answer.

    Perhaps time Adobe took a look at it?

    thanks for any ideas and assistance,

    Grant

    are you using BitDefender as the A/V?

    does the error stop if you temp disable the a/v?

    if it does- go into the bitdefender settings and exclude the folders
    containing your site files from being scanned.

    What version of DW? What OS? What does your site definition look like
    (Local, Remote, Testing)? Does it happen with all files? Does it happen
    with new files?
