Hello Staci,

It sounds as if there may be some problems with the access rights to
the network drive for this particular User. Can this User log on to
the database from a different machine or under a different name and
edit the file? If so then you should make sure that this User has
Full Access to the database.

Let me know if you have any further questions.
