1768.0. "Copying Archived documents ?" by KERNEL::SALMONJ (Jason Salmon) Thu Nov 12 1992 16:36

  Hello,
  I have a customer who is trying to do a Make Copy Folder of a folder on his
  ALL-IN_1 v3.

  Within his folder he has a number of archieved documents. When the copy 
  reaches one of these documents it stops and gives a message telling him to 
  unarchive the documents before attempting to transfer them.

  Unfortunately there are a large number of these archived documents and they 
  are on many different tapes.

  What the customer wants to know is if there is a way to copy the contents of 
  the folder without unarchiving these documents.


  Any suggestions ?


  Jason.

	Jason, OK the first dumb question is why anyone would want to copy an archived document anywhere? I know they're the customer but! To make a copy of the non-archived documents as i'm sure you've guessed you have to refile the non-archived documents out to a temporary folder and then make a copy of that and then refile them back. I don't think you can refile archive documents can you? Regards, Andrew.D.Wicks (who's NEVER used archiving)

But . . . > I don't think you can refile archive documents can you? Yes! Unfortunately, only within the same drawer. I successfully "refiled" (hacked) an archived document into a special ARCHIVE drawer. I was then able to successfully restore it, rearchive it, etc. It is my personal wish to "clean out" my working (MAIN) drawer of my file cabinet my putting all that archived stuff in a different drawer. _Mike

	Hi, Thanks to both of you, Basically the customer is trying to tidy things up and has decided that this is how he wants to do it. I was just checking that I hadn't missed anything obvious. Thanks again. Jason.
