I trying to create batch file /s that would do the following things: 1st - Copy files between file servers (3 or more file servers) 2nd - Create a log file that would list the files that were copied & the time it was moved to that server 3rd - Name the log file with the user inputted value - preferably mm/dd/yyyy format with an extension .log 4th - Do all this things using one command What I did 1st - Create a mother batch file that will do the following things = Input the log-file name, target directories = Use the FOR command to run a separate batch file which would do the actual copying of files to the different servers PROBLEM I cannot run the switches on the following things 1. passing of log name since i used the %1 on the root batch file 2. passing of target servers since i used the %2 on the root batch file It is my understanding the when you use the CALL command you should specify the parameters that you're passing to the child batch file. Also on the child batch file I really don't know how to specify what to receive since I used these two values on the root batch (%1, %2) PLEASE HELP
