Hi Rhonda and list That is the problem. Even though I have manually unprotected the file on the flash disk, keysoft still behaves as though it is protected. Indeed, it automatically protects the file. Whenever I unprotect, try to copy and go back to the keylist folder, the file is protected again.
I have also tried restoring the files, but again, the records are not copied. I am asked whether I want to replace the existing file, but when I do, nothing has changed. There has to be more to this than simple copying or restoring of files.

If it isn't, you will not be able to add addresses to it. Did you copy it from the CF card, or did you restore? Yes, it will say that the file exists. If it asks you if you want to replace, say yes. But, it has to be unprotected. > ----- Original Message ----- >From: "Kylie Forth" <[email protected] >To: "'Rhonda Stogner'" <[email protected]>,<[email protected] >Date sent: Mon, 18 May 2009 07:17:14 +0800 >Subject: RE: [Braillenote] Utilising backed-up Keylist and Keyplan files >Hi Rhonda and list >I think that my unprotecting the address list may have triggered the "access >denied' message.
