A separate topic is probably warranted re DOS bat files; I presume ME does not try to emulate Xcopy commands in FileCopy so you can easily copy depending on the newer file? I tried it using logic and setting variables from files dates, but too clumsy?

You are correct that Macro Express does not directly implement xcopy features. It requires saving both the source and destination file dates in variables and doing some comparisons as you are looping through a folder.

 

Xcopy is easily run using the Window's Run dialog or a DOS batch file.

 

Which path to take is a matter of personal choice, parameters of the job, and expediency.
