Hello,

I need help writing a batch file to update templates on a database. Basically, all our clients have their own folder, with multiple templates inside. Due to the computer illiteracy of my office (sigh), there's no real better way to fix this. However, I need a way to update those templates in a batch. For instance

\\SERVER\New Client Template Folder\Correspondence\Transmittal Letter.WPD

is updated. I then need to copy it to:

\\SERVER\Client Files\Client 1\Correspondence;
\\SERVER\Client Files\Client 2\Correspondence;

...etc. Essentially, I need to copy to \\SERVER\Client Files\\*\\, and I need to make it a batch file that I can train someone else to use whenever I leave this job. How can I do that?

Thanks.
