Carey,

Thank you for your post, I appreciate the link that you
sent, however I do not have the option of the "security"
tab in the properties of these folders; and so I cannot
see where it is talking about the owners that are allowed
access. Is there another way to allow access to move or
even copy this folder?

Thanx,
Aaron
