Batch Files

[David T]

I know this might not be the right place to post this
message but I am unsure where to get help. Does anyone
know how to program a batch file to leave a message when
when a back up is complete.

Basically, I have set up a sceduled task to copy and paste
data.mdb to the network at 4pm every day:

net use t: \\san00
xcopy /y "d:\users\Data.mdb" "t:\departments\"
net use t: /delete /y

Is there any way to add another line at the end to say
that the back up is complete. Ideally a couple of lines, 1
to say percentage complete and 1 when it is completed to
say successful.

Any ideas how or where I could find this out would be much
appreciated.

Many Thanks
David

Right your are. This *is* the *wrong* place.

This group is for Microsoft Access.

Running batch files and doing backups is a Windows issue.

As you don't mention what version of Windows you are using, I can only guess
that you are using the latest version.

Try posting in one of the 27 Windows XP groups that all start with
microsoft.public.windowsxp.

Good luck.
