Copy folders in a batch file

Comment:

I used the following command in a batch file to copy te folder 'memship' and its contents to another folder. It doesn't work. What might be wrong? xcopy /E /Y c:\program files\microsoft visual studio\vfp98\memship\*.* c:\backups\ I have tried it with and without the '*.*' Bill William Lockie "OS: WXP SP2 CPU/Ram: 3.0/2GB Manufacturer/Model: clone"
