I have a simple save routine which saves the file to my own c drive and then
a copy to a network drive. How can I run the sproceedure and trap the error
if the pc is not connected to the network.

Also would it be possible to trap another error - say if the file had been
opened by someone using the network drive copy, to ignore the second part of
the routine too and perhaps send a message back to the user that it has been
saved to the local drive but not the network.
