Reno,
Thanks. And yes I've been looking through many of the posts online and doing my best to decipher all the switches. What you made reference to sounds correct, but in my experience with attempting to use them, does not quite accomplish what I'm after.
For example: If I have a folder named "folder1" that contains files "a","b","c" and "d", I may only have the need for file "b". I'm currently able to copy file "b" out of the folder (and have used various switches) and to a different directory, but in doing so it does not create "folder1" and place file "b" inside of it, it merely copies file "b" to the folder I specify.
The reason I'm attempting this is a work around to a hyperlinking issue with g.i.s.. The database I'm working with has over 14,000 records in about 250 different folders and I need to maintain the directory structure for the hyperlinking to work.
