Hi DaveThanks for the prompt reply. I am sorry for not stating it in my first post, but I am using Windows 7. All SB help seems to refer to Vista or XP. Are there updates to include reference to Win 7...
View ArticleRe: user name and password required to schedule
Basically, for 'Vista', read 'Vista and later'. There was a new-style Task Scheduler inaugurated in Vista, which hasn't changed since (so 2008, 7 and 8 all still use it). The references relating to...

If there are errors, there will be error messages, too. If you don't quote them, no-one can help you (because we don't know what they are). If files were copied successfully too, they should also be...

View ArticleRe: Access Denied on Source when it shouldn't be
One very important fact to note is that 'from Source' only indicates the direction of the attempted operation (as opposed to 'from Right/Destination'). It doesn't necessarily mean the access is being...

Upgrade (to SE or Pro). They have options to log such 'missing' files as Warnings (<> Failure) i/s/o Errors (= Failure). The free version does not.I guess the issue is that the program itself is...
