DOS Command
I know this is not the ideal place to post, but I need to know what is the
exact proper format to copy a file from one drive to another drive when the folder name contains a space in it. Example: I created a file called "Autocopy.bat" The command line goes as follows: xcopy c:\Folder\main.xls d:\Main Files\ The problem I'm having is the space between "Main Files" is not recognized by DOS. How can I format this so the main.xls copy is made to D:\Main Files ??? |

DOS Command
Untested:
xcopy "c:\Folder\main.xls" "d:\Main Files\" Why use XCopy when you're copying a single file. And if you're doing this in a macro, you may want to look at VBAs FileCopy command.
