I am somewhat confused. I am attempting with the finder to move some files into a folder. When I drag and drop them nothing happens (it doesn't happen). I look at the permissions of the files and I do have read/write on the files and I have read/write on the folder I am attempting to move them to. I have full access to the volume (ignore ownership). I must be overlooking something but I do not know what else to be asking myself. I created the folder and created all the files. This is *NOT* a new folder. If I had to guess I created it 9 years (maybe more) ago. It was there is OS9 and with the 2 OSX upgrades and never an issue. I was able to write to it as of May 1 , 2009 (the highest modification date). Note this folder is a sub folder of another folder which again I have r/w access. Can someone shed some light on why I cannot move files into the folder? FWIW I am at 10.4.11 and am running a G5 SIlver dual with 6G of memory and a dual 2.7 MHZ processor. I also rebooted in between to see if there was some sort of boot issue and it seems to have stayed and I cannot move the files (still). Ed
