I have created a batch file that copies the contents of one folder to another, however I am looking to copy 3 copies from 3 different folders to 3 different locations within 1 batch file rather than 3. The following works fine: xcopy G:\folder\sbfldr1 C:folder\sbfldr1 /s But I want to do 3 copies in 1 batch file: xcopy G:\folder\sbfldr1 C:folder\sbfldr1 /s xcopy G:\folder\sbfldr2 C:folder\sbfldr2 /s xcopy G:\folder\sbfldr3 C:folder\sbfldr3 /s But I can't get this to work, what's missing? Any help appreciated.

Try this: start xcopy G:\folder\sbfldr1 C:folder\sbfldr1 /s start xcopy G:\folder\sbfldr2 C:folder\sbfldr2 /s start xcopy G:\folder\sbfldr3 C:folder\sbfldr3 /s

You troubleshoot batch files one of two ways. You put a pause between each line to see if there are errors. You pipe the batch to a text file and then read the text file for the errors like so: mybatch.bat >mytextfile.txt As you have it written here there should not be any reason you can't have all three commands execute. Imagine the power if you knew how to internet search

"xcopy G:\folder\sbfldr3 C:folder\sbfldr3 /s" You didn't bother to say what the problem is, but as written, it needs a backslash after C: like this: xcopy G:\folder\sbfldr3 C:\folder\sbfldr3 /s Beyond that, you can avoid the dumb question as to whether the destination is a file or folder by including the trailing backslash: xcopy G:\folder\sbfldr3 C:\folder\sbfldr3\ /s ===================================== If at first you don't succeed, you're about average.
