The folder is actually on a server and not the user's machine. &nbsp;She is using a multiple user machine however. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
And I believe we only have change permissions for these users. &nbsp;I'll try and get it changed to include delete.<br />
<br />
Thanks.

Are you using the Dir function?<br />

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I have a VB5 application that copies several files from one directory to another. &nbsp;This application is running fine on most machines, but on one particular machine/user/location it is failing.<br />
<br />
When the files aren't in the final directory every thing runs fine, but when the files are already there and the app tries to do a FileCopy, the Permission Denied error appears. &nbsp;When I try to manually delete these files I get the same error. &nbsp;If I open the files and resave them, I can delete them no problem.<br />
<br />
What's going on? &nbsp;Is the security for the user causing the problem?<br />
<br />
Thanks,<br />

FileCopy and Permission Denied

Visual Basic is Microsoft’s event-driven programming language and integrated development environment (IDE) for its Component Object Model (COM) programming model. It is relatively easy to learn and use because of its graphical development features and BASIC heritage. It has been replaced with VB.NET, and is very similar to VBA (Visual Basic for Applications), the programming language for the Microsoft Office product line.
