The reason I asked was to determine whether you were saving to a removable
drive (floppy, flash drive, CD, or whatever) or to a network drive (which
can have problems related to "packet signing"). It's hard to say whether
your macro is part of the problem or not, but FWIW there is a macro with
similar functionality available at Graham Mayor's download site
(
