Hi Michael!

Thx for your help, but I've coded it you wrote.
I get errorcode 3 when calling Robocopy. Maybe it is undocumented.

best regards
Werner

Hi

Based on this article
http://groups.google.com/groups?selm=apj0nsk14tnjaoprb72ng16b2dumim9lo1%404ax.com

error level 3 really means 1+2 (because the Robocopy error level is a bit map):

0x02 2 Some Extra files or directories were detected. Examine the
output log. Some housekeeping may be needed.
0x01 1 One or more files were copied successfully (that is, new files
have arrived).

I don't have the reskit installed, so I don't have the robocopy.doc. But
this thread should help you (hint: 3 is 0x02 + 0x01)...

Hi Torgeir!

All right! It's true, it's bitmapping of some errorlevel.

Thx for helping

best regards
Werner
