Hi all,
I'm using the File System Object to move some folders. The method has worked fine when transferring folders within the C: drive.
However, I now wish to move folders to an external drive. Excel gives an error message number 70 (Permission Denied) whenever I try this. Has anyone any idea why this happens and, more importantly, how I can get round it.

For your information, the external source I am trying to use at the moment is a 3.5" Floppy Drive. (Just to cover the basic question first, Yes it does have a disk in it, Yes it is write enabled, Yes it has been formatted, and Yes it does have space on it :wink: )
