: : : 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,

I have this morning backed up to floppy and had two stocks with the "access denied" message. I repeated the backup - cleared the disc using Wind Expl - this time only one "access denied", the same as the second of the two previous rejects. This is not a major problem but is annoying!

: 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.
