Native Version - Permission Denied Error

[Linda Hapner]

Thank you thank you thank you -- that is exactly what I needed.  I looked at
the attribute on the folder and didn't see a read only check mark, but when
I highlighted all files, there it was.

I'm so excited to have the answer, my husband is looking at me funny.  I
thought I was sunk!

Thanks again

Linda
