Subject  :  Copying Folders and Files with long filenames

Kan, thanks for your response. Your assumption is correct in that it 
is some time since I used DOS.

I am using Windows 2000 and XXCOPY 16.

My objective is to update files on my computer and laptop with the 
latest version of each file by date and time. Some of the Directories 
and Filenames are 20 digits.

I have created the undernoted batch file but nothing happens. When I 
shorten the directory and filenames files from my computer (Drive c:) 
are copied to the laptop (Drive G:) and then copied back again to C:. 
However all I end up with is the C: drive version on both whether or 
not it is the latest version.

XXCOPY c:\jl\longnames2003\accounts G:\jl\longnames2003 /Clone /DA
XXCOPY c:\jl\longnames2003\invoices G:\jl\longnames2003 /Clone /DA
xxcopy c:\jl\longnames2003\clients G:\jl\longnames2003 /Clone /DA

XXCOPY G:\jl\longnames2003\accounts C:\jl\longnames2003 /Clone /DA 
XXCOPY G:\jl\longnames2003\invoices C:\jl\longnames2003 /Clone /DA 
XXCOPY G:\jl\longnames2003\clients C:\jl\longnames2003 /Clone /DA

Any assistance to achieve my objective would be appreciated

Regards

John
