    of course, silly....cheers but why should it work ok for 90% data then stop is the question, is it because of the buffer?

      Yes. Whatever is left in the buffer isn't actually written out to the file yet. You don't actually need two opens of the file; you could open it for read/write, write to it, seek back to the beginning, and read from it.
