Send To

I'm having trouble with the a batch file placed in the 'send to' directory of the user's profile. The user's highlight multiple items, right click, select send to, then select the batch file created in order to send these files to a print queu. Send to is required, as opposed to associations, because multiple printers are required. The problem is that when multiple items are right clicked on, one fo these items gets the broken line around it, and only that item is sent. Does anyone know how to make all highlighted files work with the 'send to' command?

 

Not at all sure what exactly is going on.

One thing I'd check for is what app is running the batch file. cmd.exe will do lots of things better than command.com and I've had some problems in the past. Got a batch file now that will run cmd.exe nicely from the batch file but from a shortcut to it, dang things insists on using command.com and the results are ugly.

Otherwise, maybe post a copy of the batch file and a sample of a job that it needs to process.

 

It is using cmd.exe and not command.com. I've ran all the latest patches to no avail. The unfortunate thing is that I've fixed this before, but have no notes on what actions I took. The batch file contents are as follows:

copy %1 //dfwnts01/8000n

Pretty simple batch file really. We're just sending .plt files for ptinting, but there are normally ten or more per plan, so making booklets of multiple plans without the ability to send to is a real hassle. Any other suggestions? Microsoft's website yields little clues.

 

One way (for NT/Win2k/XP)...

Code:

for %%a in (%*) do copy %%a \\dfwnts01\8000n

 

I appreciate the help very much, but my problem persists. It seems that whatever file I right click on is the only one that actually gets sent. I don't think the problem lies with the batch file, but with how Windows is handling the things. Any other suggestions?
