Creation of a tmp file instead of a vmp file

I am using the code below to create a vmp file, however everytime it gets to the bottom part to SaveAs, it gives me the following error message and is saving the vmp file as a tmp file. I'm not sure how to fix this problem, and why it isn't properly saving all the data. Thanks in advance!!:)

ERROR MESSAGE:

'Error using aft_SaveAs (line 132)

It appears that you do not have write access to the directory C:/Users/ss4404/Desktop/SAMP/Variability_Project/Code/Creating_MDMsGLMs/Brodmann-Area-01/

Or possibly file C:/Users/ss4404/Desktop/SAMP/Variability_Project/Code/Creating_MDMsGLMs/Brodmann-Area-01/TESTING.vmp exists but you do not have permission to write to it.

Hi Walter! Thanks for your response. I am using my own desktop and have used this code previously so I'm not sure why I wouldn't have write access all of a sudden. Also, I've used the '1X1X1' vmp file to write to it previously and it has worked fine.

Hi Walter! I actually tried saving to D: instead of Users, and you were right, for some reason I did not have write access to that directory. Thanks for the help!! I will have to figure out why I do not have access though.
