I am able to open the shared documents folder (XP Home) but cannot add
anything to it. When I try I get the message: Access is denied make sure the
disk is not write protected and that the file is not currently in use. The
folder contains the usual sub folders and sample photos. I have tried sharing
the folder via its properties but this has not helped.

Any help would be much appreciated

Share the folder. See Level 4 & Level 5 permissions here:

Thanks Ramesh

That worked once I changed it to level 5.
I'd previously tried sharing it but only at level 4 which didn't work.
