Thanx for replying.
I checked the files' properties and they have READ-ONLY
attribute checked off. To be sure, i checked off the READ-
ONLY field for the whole directory where the files are.
As for permission, how do i find out??? If i have no
permission in the directory, should i be allowed to copy
them into it?
Thanx
