Can anyone tell me why I get an error stating that the file is still is still in use and it bombs with an IO exception:

"The process cannot access the file 'C:\Users\Ken\Dropbox\Test Files\Select A Category\Select A Sub-Category\textbox1.text & " " & textbox2.text.xml' because it is being used by another process. Below is my code:

If System.IO.Directory.Exists(TextBox57.Text & "\Select A Category\Select A Sub-Category\") = False Then
System.IO.Directory.CreateDirectory(TextBox57.Text & "\Select A Category\Select A Sub-Category\")
End If


'System.IO.File.Create(TextBox57.Text & "\Select A Category\Select A Sub-Category\" & TextBox1.Text & " " & TextBox2.Text & ".xml")


Dim Writer3 As XmlTextWriter = New XmlTextWriter(TextBox57.Text & "\" & ComboBox3.Text & "\" & ComboBox6.Text & "\" & TextBox1.Text & " " & TextBox2.Text & ".xml", System.Text.Encoding.UTF8)

If ComboBox3.Text <> "Select A Category" Then

Writer3.WriteStartDocument()

' Create the root element named Resume Entry
Writer3.WriteStartElement("ResumeEntry")

' Start a child element named Client
Writer3.WriteStartElement("Client")

' Create a number for the First Name
Writer3.WriteStartElement("FirstName")
Writer3.WriteString(TextBox1.Text)
Writer3.WriteEndElement()

' Create a name for the Last Name
Writer3.WriteStartElement("LastName")
Writer3.WriteString(TextBox2.Text)
Writer3.WriteEndElement()

' Close the student node
Writer1.WriteEndElement()

' Close the root element
Writer1.WriteEndElement()

Writer1.WriteEndDocument()

Writer1.Flush()
Writer1.Close()

End If

If I had to guess, the literal of 'textbox1.text' showing up in the error file means that you have quotes or similar in the textbox interfering with the concatenation. Try displaying the string within 'Dim... New XmlTextWriter' to be sure.
