 All I'm trying to do is use xxcopy to copy one small (145kb) ziped 
file to multiple computers on a network. here is the command string 
I'm using, it has the source directory and the target directory 
(xxcopy c:\vsecfg.cab \\MT210030\C\program files\network 
associates\VirusScan\MID). when the command string is writt like this 
I get this error. Only two arguments allowed
1st (src): c:\vsecfg.cab
2nd (dst): \\MT210030\c\program
3rd (bad): files\network

I have done this many different way, one way is to use the net use 
command and map a drive. then exicute the xxcopy command string the 
the maped dive with the directory path and I get an error about not 
being able to creat directory. The thing is, is that I'm copying the 
path directly from the windows explorer bar. I have tried using 
double quotes on( program files and network associates, c:\vsecfg.cab 
\\MT210030\C\"program files"\"network associates"\VirusScan\MID ) and 
then I get a different error telling me that it is an invalid 
directory. I try using a $ sign after c and it almost works, but asks 
me if I want the creat the directory ( the directory already exists), 
but then tells me that is could not creat diredtory.

Could anyone please help me with the command string used, I feel 
stupid that I can not get this simple little task done.
