Hi All,
Is it me or don't the wildcards not work anymore in a command window? I tried to do a copy of stuff form one directory to another and it told me I had a bad command.
Thanks,
Winn

I checked it in XP and it seems to work with no problems. You may want to try typing "copy /?" at a command prompt to be sure that you're using the correct commands. But the * worked fine when I tried it.

phelpsm,
Thanks, I tried again, what it was is that I was putting the /V and what not in the wrong place. I think I am having a second Monday.

Thanks,
