Sharing flags are used with the Mode parameter, not the Rights parameter. Creation and Sharing flags can be OR'ed together in the Mode parameter, eg: Result := TFileStream.Create(FileName, fmOpenReadWrite or fmShareDenyNone{, 0}); That was true in the old days when fmCreate was defined as $FFFF and thus could not be mixed with any other flags, but that is no longer the case. When the Rights parameter was introduced (which is not used on Windows when fmCreate is used), fmCreate was redefined as $FF00 so it can now be mixed with sharing flags, eg: fs := TFileStream.Create(FileName, fmCreate or fmShareDenyNone{, 0}); If no sharing mode is specified, fmShareCompat is the default, except in the specific case of the old fmCreate value ($FFFF) being used, in which case the default is fmShareExclusive instead for backwards compatibility. But either way, on Windows, fmShareCompat and fmShareExclusive mean the same thing - there is no sharing enabled on the file.
