Nic,
Your batch file worked so....I tried to copy a folder using the following and nothing happened. P.S. I do have a folder "dougs stuff" in the "Doug's Stuff" folder.
Also, if I add the /s switch to your original batch file, it won't work. Why is that?
@Echo off
xcopy "F:\Doug's Stuff\dougs stuff*.*" "F:\Doug's Stuff\fax\*.*" /v /d /y /k /h
