Hi,
I'm trying to copy photos from the public pictures folder to a memeory card.
I can view the photos and I can transfer them to other folders on the PC but
when I try to copy them across I get the following message: "Could not find
this item. This item is no longer located in C:\Users\Public\Public
Pictures\Photos. Verify the item's location and try again." When I check the
photos properties the location is confirmed as correct.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Peter
 
Sounds like a security issue since you are going to a network drive. Code
Access security might be getting in the way. If you call FileExists on the
file first what happens?

Hi David,

Thanks for the input but after further investigation it turned out that the
memory card was at fault. All a bit confusing when you bear in mind the error
message I was getting from Windows. I put the card, which was brand new, in
my camera and it immediately gave me a "Card error" message". I tried using
the original card from the camera in my PC's card reader and had no problem
transferring files to it. Problem solved!

Thanks

Peter
