No, the point was to create an invalid file stream, so I can test my
functions to ensure they react correctly to this error.   The problem is
that on the first call to the function, it does not return an error.  On the
second and subsequent calls, it does return an error.

            How does anyone else out there test these sorts of things?
Thanks, Alan

I have the impression you do not create or open any file, e.g. std::ofstream
invalid("test.txt");

I do not know much about C++ file operations yet but i think this is the
problem.
