: : When backing up I often (say 50% of backups) get a message "access is denied", and following that, "could not copy xxx.dat" for one or two stocks. The stocks are different each time this occurs. Is this a bug or is there a setting I am not aware of? It has occurred with FM 3 and 4, as well as the latest version.

: Hi Bob,
: There is no setting for this. One thing to check is that you don't have a
: file there already that is marked as "Read-Only"? Are you backing up to a
: floppy or something else?

I am backing up on to floppy (4 in fact). I erase the floppys using windows explorer (select all/delete). The stocks affected seem random. Next time I back-up I will do it twice to see if the same stocks are affected when backing up a second time in close succession. However on my weekly back ups about half the time the problem does not occur at all.

Regards

Bob
