Help creating 2 batch files

[AccessGuruCarl]

Hello All,

I need help building 2 batch files.

One to verify a file exists in the folder "xxx.txt", if so, verify if file exists "xxx.ldb", If .ldb file exists, send message to user to quit the current access file. If the .ldb file doesn't exist, rename the .txt file to a .mdb file.

The second file I need is to copy a folder and it's sub-folders from a cd to the users c: drive, then remove the read-only attribute from a .mdb file in the folder just copied.

Can these be done with a batch file?

Any Help Greatly Appreciated!

I was able to build the 1st batch file with some samples on the net.

So I only need help with the second, changing the read-only attributes, and copy a folder with a subfolder.


Thanks

Use the native xp command XCOPY.EXE
(By default, xcopy removes the read-only attribute.)

For CD drive on drive letter d:
For target of the copy drive letter c:

xcopy d: c: /i /s /e /y

Also, if you still need to change file attributes, see the "attrib" command.
