Assuming you mean floppy;
Save it to you Hard drive and use Windows Explorer to copy it to your floppy. -- Regards; Rob ------------------------------------------------------------------------ "Cookie" wrote in message ... The HELP directions don't help me. |

Hi gls858
just to let you know that it is not a good idea to do file / save directly to a floppy or to file / open directly from a floppy ... both of these are know to corrupt files - rather it is always best to do as RWN suggested in their response, which was to save it to the hard disk and then use windows explorer or my computer to copy it onto the floppy. cheers JulieD "gls858" wrote in message ...

I've saved many files directly to a floppy without any problems, but that was quite some time ago. Haven't used floppies in ages. gls858 |

These might prove useful. NEVER SAVE to a floppy or CD
Sub CopyToFloppy() Application.DisplayAlerts = False IsFloppyReady SaveClientName Dim fso As Object myfile = ActiveWorkbook.Name Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") fso.CopyFile "c:\keystone\" & myfile, "a:\" Application.DisplayAlerts = True End Sub Sub CopyFromFloppy() GetFloppyFiles = Shell("C:\KeyStone\FloppyToKeystone.bat", 1) End Sub the bat file below echo copying files from floppy copy a:\*.xls c:\KeyStone\ Sub IsFloppyReady() Dim drv As String Dim s As String Dim fso s = "Drive A has no Floppy..." & vbLf & _ "Please insert a floppy in the 'A' Drive" Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") With fso drv = .GetDriveName("A:\") '// Is Drive Ready? (No Floppy in A:)? If Not .getdrive(drv).IsReady Then MsgBox s End If End With End Sub -- Don Guillett SalesAid Software "Cookie" wrote in message ... The HELP directions don't help me. |
