Ed, Some time ago I tried to Copy and Paste a group of Universe accounts (folders) from one location to another on the same NT machine and it failed.
I was informed that the Windows Copy command is not a reliable command for moving Universe accounts, but that the DOS xcopy command is reliable. So, we now use xcopy in a .bat file to do exactly what you want to do, and we use it both within one machine and between two machines, but --- We launch it using the Windows Task Scheduler, not from a phantom process running in Universe. I don't know if the DOS copy command is the same as the Windows Copy command, as in Copy and Paste, or Drag and Drop, but if you're having any trouble with the results of your DOS copy command, I would go back to using xcopy in a .bat file and running it from the Task Scheduler. hth, Dave Dave Taylor President Sysmark Information Systems, Inc. 49 Aspen Way Rolling Hills Estates, CA 90274 800-SYSMARK (800-797-6275) (O) 310-544-1974 (P) 800-339-1497 (F) 310-377-3550 Your Source for Integrated EDI Translation and DataSync Integration www.sysmarkinfo.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ed Weissman" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org> Sent: Friday, July 15, 2005 6:28 AM Subject: Re: [U2] Problem with phantom on Universe/NT > Problem solved.
