cannot copy newly created files to backup, all existing ok
 

I have copied my file full of excel spreadsheets for months to a 1G memory
stick. Suddenly, I create a new file and it will not copy it to the
stick.... message I get when it comes to this file: Cannot copy
AAlison2006.xls:The directory or file cannot be created What does this
mean and how do I fix it so I can get it backed up with all my other files in
that folder?

Sounds like the memory stick may be full, you have checked that though, I
expect?

Yes, have checked and it still has lots of unused memory. Thanks

Rename the file, then try copying it.

I also wonder if the memory stick is flawed. Can you copy any other
new files to it?
