Problem

Solutions: A customer received the message, "File Is Locked" while copying a file, without a password, from the A: drive to the C: drive. If the customer retrieved the file and tried to save it, the message, "Access Denied" appeared. The customer had a directory on the C: drive with the same name as the file being copied. Changing the name of the file allowed the customer to copy/save the file to the C: drive.

Another customer received the error messages "File Is Locked" and "Access Denied" when copying files because he was using a forward slash rather than a backslash.

A third customer was unable to copy macro files to the macros directory because the directory was hidden. After removing the hidden attribute, the customer was able to copy the files successfully.
