bat file problem

[bdb04]

I have a bat file that I email to users to have them update some macro files on their local machines.  The bat file uses xcopy command as follows:

xcopy s:\Macros\Macro.ebm  c:\docume~1\macros\Macro.ebm /y


It works fine and copies the files to the correct location, but it always asks if it is a file or directory that I am copying and the users have to type 'F'.  Is there a way to avoid this and either pass 'F' to the prompt or another code to add in my command to tell it is a file?

Thanks,
Ben

Not exactly sure why you would be causing this in all honesty. Windows should know that this is a file and not a folder and not even prompt a user.

Have you considered using the "copy" command instead of the "xcopy" command?

DOH!  

I was just used to using xcopy in the past and never had a problem with it, mainly for the deployment of database frontends.   I switched to copy and it worked without the prompt.

Thanks for the help!
