Chaz,

I tried the /S again. Still to no avail. It will remove nonexistant 
files in the destination that no longer appear in the source, but it 
still will not go through the subdirectories. This is the result:


F:\Documents and 
Settings\Tait\Desktop>xxcopy.exe "F:\Palm\KjellbT\" "C:\Palm\Kj
ellbT\" /RX/S/YY/OA"RemoveLog.txt"

XXCOPY == Freeware == Ver 2.82.7 (c)1995-2002 Pixelab, Inc.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
C:\Palm\KjellbT\ RmDir failed
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Directories processed = 0
Total data in bytes = 0
Elapsed time in sec. = 4.596
Action speed (MB/min) = 0
Files deleted = 0
Log File Appended = "F:\Documents and 
Settings\Tait\Desktop\RemoveLog.txt"
Exit code = 100 (No files were found to copy)


If I take the /YY out, I get this:


F:\Documents and 
Settings\Tait\Desktop>xxcopy.exe "F:\Palm\KjellbT\" "C:\Palm\Kj
ellbT\" /RX/S/OA"RemoveLog.txt"

XXCOPY == Freeware == Ver 2.82.7 (c)1995-2002 Pixelab, Inc.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
C:\Palm\KjellbT\ RmDir (Y/N)?


If I then click Y, I get this:


F:\Documents and Settings\Tait\Desktop>remove

F:\Documents and Settings\Tait\Desktop>Del RemoveLog.txt

F:\Documents and 
Settings\Tait\Desktop>xxcopy.exe "F:\Palm\KjellbT\" "C:\Palm\Kj
ellbT\" /RX/S/OA"RemoveLog.txt"

C:\Palm\KjellbT\ RmDir (Y/N)?


If I then click Y again, here are the results:


F:\Documents and 
Settings\Tait\Desktop>xxcopy.exe "F:\Palm\KjellbT\" "C:\Palm\Kj
ellbT\" /RX/S/OA"RemoveLog.txt"

It still does not want to go down the subdirectories. Any ideas.

Thanks again,

Tait
