Kdyer Kdyer KiX Supporter Registered: 2001-01-03 Posts: 6241 Loc: Tigard, OR	I am able to ROBOCOPY folders, but not individual files. I would like to copy over updated DBF files for our system to other servers and not have to use a straight copy.. Code: ::robocopy \\SERVER\apps\program\tables\dbflist.* \\SERVER2\c$\program\tables /NP /MIR /R:5 /W:10 /REG When I run this, I get the message - "cannot find the folder - dbflist*" Thanks!

You dont need to supply the file type if you want all files, it defaults to * Try something like this I would also use the /Z switch (copy files in restartable mode) SOURCE DESTINATION filetype or leave blank Then switches Give that a try and let us know. Code: robocopy \\SERVER\apps\program\tables\dbflist \\SERVER2\c$\program\tables /NP /Z /MIR /R:5 /W:10 /REG

Kdyer Kdyer KiX Supporter Registered: 2001-01-03 Posts: 6241 Loc: Tigard, OR	Found a problem.. If the DBF file is in use, does not work. But, then again, I could do this at night when people are not in the system. Kent _________________________ Utilize these resources: UDFs (Full List) KiXtart FAQ & How to's
