Does any one know the command for excluding open docs from being moved to another location? Currently, I have MS Access launching Word docs to a location. Users then work on these open files. As the users complete their Word docs the documents are saved (closed) at that same location. I want to use RoboCopy or some utility to move only the closed files to a different location and exclude the open files. I currently have RoboCopy GUI 3.1 downloaded. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Use switches /R:2 /W:2 this means retry twice wait 2 secs to retry - any open files will be skipped after 2 attempts.
Robocopy If you are trying to replicate the files, why not use something like gscopypro from gurusquad.... it works just like robocopy but can copy open files as well. this way you have an exact replica including open files.
