Thanks for that. I presume that it is something like the old xcopy.
I'm a bit rusty on batch files, but I remember the switches. I should
use /D:mm/dd/yy. I also remember that there should be /S to copy the
subdirectory if it doesn't already exist.

I think the general source would be G:\digifotos\ *.jpg /D:09/23/04 /S
j:\digifotos

Is that likely to work? Maybe I should contact the web site first.
Fancy having to write batch files with all this software around.

Best wishes
