Thanks! &nbsp;It worked. &nbsp;Here's the sub I ended up creating. &nbsp;I'm a reusable code junkie :)<br />

&nbsp; &nbsp; Shared Sub RemoveAttribute(inFilePath<wbr /> As String, attributesToRemove As FileAttributes)<br />

&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; File.SetAttributes(inFileP<wbr />ath, attributes)<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; End Sub
