Cannot SaveCopyAs to another folder

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am using the SaveCopyAs method to save a copy of a spreadsheet to another location which is in another folder.

When I run the procedure, it opens the spreadsheet but then produces an error message :Run Time Error 1004, Cannot access read-only document 'folder name".

Is there any way around this. If you right click the folder and go to properties and un-check Read-Only then go back to properties, the box is checked again.

Any help would be appreciated.

If you need any more info please let me know.

Kind Regards,

Simon.

You need to add the following codeline to your code

ReadOnlyRecommended:=False

This deselects the ReadOnly option
