Sorry for this obviously silly question, but how can I ensure that the date and time stamp of the target file remains the same after the copy/compare?

Tried my best to track it down before posting....

I'm not quite sure what you mean. BC does it's best to copy the timestamp from the source to the target during a copy. If it doesn't work you can try using the "Touch" action to force it.

Correction to my question.
The files are the same timestamp, the directories are all stamped the time of the copy.

thanks,

We don't try to update the timestamps of directories, since in most cases it won't work. You can try using the "Touch" command on the directories, but it will only work if you're using Windows NT4, 2000, or XP, and have administrative priveledges.
