Hi Everyone,

I'm trying to append to a annual Excel file a daily file once its
made
available
Preferably using DOS once my user saves the Excel document under an
expected name.

Example.

C:> copy excel_today.xls + excel_master.xls excel_annual.xls


ALSO: Would this work for TEMPLATES ?????

I do this for text files and word document but I am having trouble
with Excel

Can this be done without VB or VBA using DOS.

Any ideas

Thanks in Advance

George

Nope.

In fact, I'm surprised that you get anything useful when you do this with MSWord
documents.
