Batch file & copy query

[Fatboy]

Without all the reasoning behind it, what I am needing to do is to create a batch file to copy an outlook.pst file from my C drive to the D drive (where there is another instance of windows installed).

I know the location both the files in question are in, and I can drag and drop in windows to accomplish the task, but ideally I would like to be able to creat a batch file on startup to do this for me.

I've created the .bat file in the command prompt, and it reads something like this:

copy c:\location_of_file d:\location_of_file /d /y

When I try and execute the batch file, it comes up with a message stating that the system cannot find the file specified.

Firstly, have I put this command in correctly?
Secondly, if not, could you guys point me in the right direction?

Thanks again.

Did you remeber to add in your quotation marks? Example here..If it has a space it only looks for the bit before the space

copy c:\winat.exe "C:\Documents and Settings\oijh"

also make sure outlook hasn't got the pst open

Doh! Yes, I'm forgotten the quotation marks. Sorted now, cheers very much.
