Hi, Recently I decided it would be nice to use the WhereIs command to check for a file's location on ALL the drives, rather then one drive at a time. But when I tried to use the command to go from one drive to the other on its own, it stopped on the frist drive and quit. Reading another post on here, I got the idea to use the Assign command. Here is what I tried... Assign WI: DH0: Assign WI: DH1: add Assign WI: DH2: add Assign WI: DH3: add Assign WI: DH4: add ..then I typed... WhereIs WI: *.zip ..when it was done searching DH0: it quit instead of going onto the next drive or doing all drives at the sametime. I figured it would of done one or the other. So is there a better way to have this command hunt for files in ALL the drives (one after the other) or do I need another command altogether? Thanks, Michael (shotgun@slip.net)
