Could someone please tell me why this is not working, sorry for the question.

@echo ON

CD C:\Program Files\SiteSafe\MAPX
COPY F:\DATA\MAPS\MapX.exe

This is my first batch file, I just need to copy the MapX into the previous
directory.
Thanks.

I'm not real familiar with batch files but if similar to script files, you
need to specify from and to so...
CD C:\Program Files\SiteSafe\MAPX
COPY MapX.exe F:\DATA\MAPS\MapX.exe

If you were doing this with script I would do
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
fso.CopyFile "C:\Program Files\SiteSafe\MAPX\MapX.exe",
"F:\DATA\MAPS\MapX.exe"

If you're just creating a simple batch script, all you need is this

@ECHO OFF
COPY F:\DATA\MAPS\MapX.exe "C:\Program Files\SiteSafe\MAPX"
