remove write protect
Help! I had to buy a USB memory stick for my English class and now it won't
let me save or delete files on it. It has a 1GB capacity and I have less than 1MB on it right now so that's not the problem. I have searched for a place to remove write protect but no luck. It's driving me crazy and this is the only way my professor wants us to submit our essay's. It worked just fine a couple of days ago and then my MS Word program locked up (as it is prone to doing) and ever since then I've had this problem. Thank you! |

remove write protect
The following macro added to a toolbar button will save the document and
copy to your flash drive. Change the drive letter in the macro from Q to whatever your flash drive letter happens to use. You can configure Windows to always assign that letter to your flash drive. http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm Sub CopyDocToFlash() Dim strFileA As String Dim strFileB As String Dim strFlash As String ActiveDocument.Save 'save the original strFileA = ActiveDocument.Name 'saved original document name strFlash = "Q:\" & strFileA 'flash drive filename ' after closing backup file, copy it to USB flash drive ActiveDocument.Close 'close the document On Error GoTo Oops FileCopy strFileA, strFlash 'Copy source to flash Documents.Open strFileA ' Reopen the document End Oops: If Err.Number = 61 Then 'error trap for missing flash drive. MsgBox "Disc Full! The partial file created will be deleted", vbExclamation Kill strFlash Else MsgBox "The flash drive is not available", vbExclamation End If Documents.Open strFileA End Sub -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Suzanne S.
