Thanks Guys,

Thanks to the replies to my earlier thread.

I am actually only a very part-time foxpro programmer. I have been asked to create a utility so users can copy/backup their files to a pen drive by clicking on a foxpro form.
I have the code below

! /2 xcopy C:\temp F:\test /i /y /e

The code works. But copys the files within the folders only . I want to copy the whole folder.
Also is it possible not to show the Dos window. I've tried removing the /2 but the Dos window still appears.


here the parameters mean:
*2 : dos window active and minimized, *i : if the soursce directory does not exist in destination directory it creates.
*y : overwrites existing files or folders, *e : copying directories and subdirectories including empty ones

Thanks in advance.
