Is that right?
You could check out folder match and folder clone. Both do that really easily If I misunderstood and you want to do something else let me know Good luck Ken Now I create a number of documents, lets say 10 docs. At the day after that I move files 1, 3, 6, 8 & 9 to an "IN PROGRESS" sub folder called "READY TO PRINT", and leave 2 & 5 on the root and move 4, 7 & 10 to another folder called "READY TO SEND". I copy then the "IN PROGRESS" folder to a Kingston flash drive via "Send To" command under the right click menu. Then copy those files to the new "Win7"PC. And then my wife discovered that now she has al the files not only in their corresponding folder, they are in the "in progress" root folder, but this ones has the modified date set to the day before I've moved them. So, putting aside the assle to order all of them now and check wich ones have been trully modified and wich ones not, I really hope that i'll never happens again! |

dup files
Ouch
I assume you want the newest version of each. BTW that sounds an aweful lot like groupware. Where every one works on the same doc and it stays sync'ed etc. My condolences for the organizational nightmare. I've been thru a couple of those myself.:) Ken |

Sounds like a problem with the flash drive? You only copy "IN PROGRESS" yet all the others appear with it, even though you did not copy them specifically?
