You have to save the file handle like so:

int handle = FileOpen(filename,FILE_CSV|FILE_READ);
if( handle<1 )
   // save screenshot
else
   FileClose(handle);

Gordon,

Your code is fine, the problem of my code is don't close the file (this mean the file is always opening ) then cannot delete the file .

int handle = FileOpen(filename,FILE_CSV|FILE_READ);
