Need to automate a process... simple?
Hi,
Background info: I have a win2k domain environment running AD.
I have a machine that runs a program that delegates which of our transcriptionists are going to get which dictations from which doctors. We like to store the sent dictations for a period of time in case we need to recover something periodically. This folder can get rather large and cause disk space issues until it's purged. The delegate program cannot be modified to put this "Out" folder on a different drive or network location.
So here's my question. Can anyone help me come up with a way to automatically move this data from it's current location into a secondary location (secondary drive, network drive, etc...)
Example: The folder is located at c:\program files\nch swift sound\expressdelegate\Out
The contents of that "Out" folder is what I'd like to have moved automatically either daily, say at login, or when the folder reaches a certain size, or ..... ?
Hope that made sense. Thanks.

this will open up a text editor, put the two lines into this editor then go to "SAVE AS" under "SAVE AS TYPE" make sure you change this value to "ALL FILES" then enter the name of "copy.bat" as the file name.
Once this is done, when you look up the file you created it should have an icon that looks like a windows folder with a blue border at the top. If it has the icon of a text file then you forgot to change the save as type and should start over.
Good luck
