You can also do it with ms powershell

Hi, Dominator1025.

Please save the attached into Directory A. Edit it to change "Apples.xls" to the required name (safest to leave the double-quotes even if not actually needed). Change the file extension to ".Bat" and run the batch file.

Couple of points...
(1) The "/Y" switch means that it will silently overwrite. Drop it if you want warnings (one for each file!).
(2) If you just want to run the command in a dos box, CD to the directory and enter...
for /d %a in (*.*) do copy /Y "Apples.xls" "%a"
(3) If you don't want to run this from the actual directory then please let us know the full Directory path.

Edit: I've assumed that the spreadsheet is also in Directory A. If that's not the situation, please post its directory here.

Thanks,

Brian,

Can I substitue my actual path for "a" in the text you sent?

Thanks!

Thanks, Dominator1025.

Unlike the rest of the English-speaking world, in Experts Exchange, "Good" means..."Not Good". To quote from one of the Help pages...
An A grade should be given if you receive the solution from the Experts; you should consider the A grade the default unless it is deficient.
...and...
It is customary to explain any grade that is not an A.

Please do one of the following...
 - If you genuinely feel that the answers were deficient then please explain why.
 - If all the above was new to you (it is well concealed in the site) and you want to give an A grade then please click on the Request Attention button above and ask for one of the Mod's to change the Grade. (He/she may simply "unclose" the question so you can do it yourself.)
 - If you would like clarification/confirmation of what I've said then click on the Request Attention and ask for a Mod's assistance.

I'm sorry to be such a nuisance, but B's and C's are considered to be blots on an expert's record so it's important that they're only there for valid reasons.

Many Thanks,
Brian.
