FileSystemObject, CopyFile and "Permission Denied" error message

[McCabeTC]

Hi everyone,

I need help with the following problem:
I have a Visual Basic application where some of my users are getting a "Permission Denied" error message when trying to copy files from one network drive to another.
Here it is part of my code:

Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
sourceFile = "K:\UserData\Smith\test1.txt"
destFile = "X:\NetData\EPI\test1.txt"
fso.CopyFile sourceFile, destFile, true
Set fso = Nothing

I believe it has to do with accessing a remote server by impersonating the user logged on to the client machine. Does anybody have any ideas on how to resolve this problem?

Thanks,

TM

What happens when using Windows Explorer to perform the same action from the client machine.

Of course, if you get the same "permission denied" error then you had better talk to the System Administrator, if not then repost the result.
