Hi
Sorry to jump in here, but I tried to post and it wouldn't let me.
What I want to do is create a batch file that allows me to copy my
microsoft Works .wcd file (the data file from the works calendar) from its
original location C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application
Data\Microsoft\Works to C:\My Documents\AURORA (a directory I have created)
Why do I want to do this? The directory AURORA is on my laptop and is
shared with a mirror directory on my PC. When I want to back up the files
on my laptop to my PC the process is no problem. The problem occurs when I
try to share the works diretory on my PC and My Laptop, since I am running
home version of xp on laptop, it is not allowed in home version to copy
files across network from Documents and settings, Windows, or Program files.
I run the works calendar on both machines, so when from my laptop I try to
back up the calendar to my PC, I am not allowed. So, I want to create a
batch file that will quickly copy that .wcd file into my AURORA directory,
which I can then copy to my PC through the wireless network.
But, when created a text file (saved as .bat) with the folowing command all
on one line . . .
Copy C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application
data\Microsoft\Works\mswkscal.wcd C:\My Documents\AURORA
.. . . saved the file and double clicked it, nothing happened
Is there something wrong with my path?
