Microsoft SharePoint Portal Server 2001

This article was previously published under Q323622

SYMPTOMS

When you use the Om_sample code sample that is included in the SharePoint Portal Server Software Development Kit (SDK) to upload documents to the portal, you may receive the following error message:

-2147024816 (CreateDocument)

The file exists

You receive the error message when you run the following line of code:

oDoc.DataSource.saveTo sHref, , ,adCreateOverwrite, ,Ulogin, uPass

CAUSE

This issue may occur if the %SystemRoot%\Temp folder on the server contains more than 65,535 files. Each time you upload a file to the portal by using the code sample, a temporary file is created in the %SystemRoot%\Temp folder. The maximum number of files that the %SystemRoot%\Temp folder can contain is 65,535 files.

WORKAROUND

To work around this issue, upload files in groups of approximately 50,000 at any one time. After you upload each group of files, empty the contents of the %SystemRoot%\Temp folder on the server.
