This code is intended to save a worksheet to the hard drive And
a flash drive no matter what the drive letters are.
It mainly goes by drive type and volume label but has stopped saving to the USB drive.

Skip V. mentioned to me that I should add Watch Variables to see what the values are
for the drive type and volume label.

I did that and the For..Each loops to choose drive (F:) with the volume label "64" and
that used to work fine with the drivetype=1(removeable/usb) and the vol label. It would
backup to the F: or whatever drive and eject the drive by the volume label.

NOW, It only works if I remove the drivetype=1 on the backup part but DOES NOT WORK
on the EjectByName("64") at all..
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Could it be something in Windows that I changed to cause this? Any ideas or suggestions
would be appreciated.

Any help would be appreciated. I do understand that the line with the error may not be
the problem. I don't remember changing any Configuration Settings either.
