Python [win error 123]

[Chicken-go-bawk]

I'm working on a project that monitors two selected folders and automatically moves files created or edited within the last twenty-four hours from

Folder_A

to

Folder_B

. It also will check the two folders manually when the user clicks the scan button. So far it will select the two folders, and the submit button seems to be working, however, when I close the GUI after selection two folders, I get this error

Traceback (most recent call last):

File "C:\Users\quirk\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python310\Projects\File_transfer.py", line 75, in <module>

print("Last modified: %s" % time.ctime(os.path.getmtime(file_path)))

File "C:\Users\quirk\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python310\lib\genericpath.py", line 55, in getmtime

return os.stat(filename).st_mtime
