File Copy -- Permission Denied

[mbro]

Hi I've created a routine that works on about 20 computers in the office. This routine among other things closes a file, and uses the FileCopy command to copy the file to a new pathname.

On some of the computers this action will result in a "Permission Denied" error, but not on all computers.

Can someone help diagnose the problem and offer a possible solution. I can't quite understand what is going on. The file being closed/copied is an Autocad DWG.

Cheers,
Mike

Is it on a network share? Is it possible that someone else has the file open at the same time? Is it being copied to a network share? Does the logged on user have rights where it is being copied to? Is it overwriting an existing file? If so, is it possible that someone else has the file open?

It does involve copying onto a network and the new file will not already exist.

All of the users should have the exact same read/write permission to the network.

It seems to be a problem that's computer specific, that's why it's puzzling

Scratch that it seems to be "drawing" specific not user specific.
