Cannot create text file acrobat reader X

Question

Hi,
I am trying to create a text file for logging purposes. The creation of the text file works fine in Reader 8 & 9, but not in Reader X. I am just putting the file in the current directory of the pdf (for now on the Desktop), so it should have access/privileges to create the file.
      ASFile pFile;
   ASPathName volatile PathName = NULL;
   PathName = ASFileSysCreatePathName(ASGetDefaultFileSys(), ASAtomFromString("Cstring"), "testA.txt", 0);
   if (!PathName)
     ASRaise (ASFileError(fileErrOpenFailed));
   AVAlertNote("A");
   ASInt32  ret1 = ASFileSysOpenFile(NULL, PathName, ASFILE_CREATE|ASFILE_WRITE, (ASFile*)&pFile);
   if (ret1 != 0)
      AVAlertNote("A1");
      char  buf[33];
      sprintf(buf,"error %d",ret1);
      AVAlertNote(buf);
      return 0;
   AVAlertNote("B");
In reader X the alert sequence is:
"A" -> "A1" -> "error 1074593797"
Instead of just "A" -> "B"
Any help would be appreciated.
Regards,
Magda

You need to read up on the new Sandbox in Reader X.
