-----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of John Weller Sent: Friday, November 02, 2007 12:52 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [NF] MS DOS Batch File I'm trying to use a batch file to mirror data across a network. The network is a peer-to-peer using a workgroup, not a domain. The batch file is set off as a cron job using PyCron which is installed as a service. The batch file command is: ECHO A | XCOPY D:\MyFolder\*.* W:\Backup\MyFolder\ /s /e /v where W: is a mapped drive on the network. It works like a charm when I run it but when it is triggered by PyCron it fails claiming that the drive spec is not valid. I tried replacing the letters with the UNC code but no joy. I have a VFP program which can do a similar job but the XCOPY command is much simpler and more flexible so I would prefer to use that. Any suggestions gratefully received!
