I have created a .dmg which I can access after password entry. OK so far. But I cannot create a folder in it even though it is R/W to me. Am I right in assuming I must have everything I need in there as folders and files before I protect the folder? Thanks.

How did you create the disk image? If you created new image from folder, it is only as big as the original contents. You may have run out of space.
You have to create a blank image in order to set a size.

Yes, it will create the disk image, but the max size of that image will be just a little more than the existing data in the folder.
You can set a blank image to any size. It will only take up the total amount of data in the folder, but will allow you to add up to the maximum size you set.
OK, thanks. This time I selected a folder to protect and that worked. Should have thought it through a bit more but advice online only seemed to advise on creating one.
