Native Version - Permission Denied Error

[GCC Consulting]

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!

Linda,

To save yourself this problem in the future, zip the files first and then write
to your CD.  When you restore, all of the attributes will be correct.

You may want to look at PKZIP which offer the ability to zip to an exe file
making it very quick to restore files.  This also, depending on your client's
configuration, gives you an easy way to deliver upgrades.
