|

I've been using ViceVersa Pro version 2015 for several years to move/sync data between my computers located in two locations by way of a portable hard drive. I've never had any problem until today when I tried to copy newer files on my source computer to replace the older ones on my target drive. On each and every transfer attempt on several files I get the message "Unable to create or Replace (target file location) Access is Denied" I can't figure out any reason for this change. I did not have any difficulty copying new single files from the source to the target only those that already existed. Any ideas? |

I recently replaced my XP system with Windows 7 but I think I have used ViceVesa on many of these files since then.

You got me directed to the right area. I found that some reason I did not have permission to write files on the external drive. Once corrected ViceVersa worked OK.
One other change that I made prior to noticing this problem was that I upgraded from Office 2003 to Office 2007. Perhaps that caused this to occur . |

Go to your external drive properties and then allow full control to EVERYONE. That seems to solve the probrlem for on Win 7 |
