Hi Pamela,

A quick and dirty solution would be to try and write a few bytes to a dummy file in that directory. Test for the existence of the file and if it's there then the user has write permission.

If they do not, display a message prompting the user to choose another directory? I want to catch it at this point. . . not when the user tries to access a table within the directory.
