But that would have been wrong, Sir James. Like I said, when I
double-clicked, I got absolutely nothing.

Because nothing happened ..... duh.
Later, when I tried to copy and paste, I got "Access denied." You can
read, can't you? I made that quite clear. After googling that error
message (with network , remote, shared) and listening to the advice I
received here, I found a way to fix my problem.
I'm not even going to bother addressing (or quoting) your irrelevant and
asinine rant. Rather ... I suggest you remove the burr from your ass and
start your day over.
Thanks for the help τΏΤ¬
