I just executed your code for about "29373" times but did not see any error coming up...

Are you sure about the file path?

Possible file corruption??

You have been writing to the same file for over a year. The chances of a file corrupting increase with the number of reads and writes.

Have you run a Chckdisk on the HDD to ensure the HDD is not getting tired?

Filename shouldn't be the problem here, a checksum error in the file might be causing this error though.

Edit:

Are you mapping to a network drive???

this could cause problems if the drive is offline ir the drive mapping has changed and I have seen weird behaviour mapping to network drives before.

(Please give us the full path you are entering in the folder box to examine as well.)

I guess thats a Mapped drive and as James W meetioned chances that the reconnecting to the drive might not happen when the system is rebooted all the time

Yup, You've got a network issue, I saw sonething like this 3-4 years ago when saving to the network at another company.

1) Speak to your network Admin about this

****This is the important bit for the work around: ****

2) Write the file locally to the machine every day, and after the successful local write, copy it to the network.

3) Put a popup box on the screen telling you of a failed write on the date that will stay until dismissed but not affect the exectution of your code.

4) (After 2 if you want to be clever) If Error 6 during the Nework copy, try SMTP Emailing it to yourself so you know it has failed and also FWD it to IT admin with an attached subject telling everyone the network is flaky again. - Include date and time of attempted copy function.
