I need some help with writing a bat file. Is there any way to have a space in a path? Like \\meridensnap1\isdriver$\Deploy\Programs\Microsoft\Office 2000 Professional\setup.exe ? I know that I could add underscores to the folder names but I didn't know if there was another way to have it read spaces in the Bat file so that the folder names don't have to be changed to Office_200_Professional. You know what I mean? Please help me if you have any ideas. I have tried searching but having had any luck. Thanks! - Tara :)
