Mike, I use a utility called Xset which allows this and many other things.

You could add the following to your code:
Xset logdate date YYYY-MM-DD
Echo %logdate% > a:\qcopy.log

                I am trying to write a batch file that will backup my
quicken files to floppy.
                I would like to have the date and time written to a log file
when the files are
                copied to the floppy.  Is there a way to pass the date and
time without having
                to press enter?  Here is the file as I have it so far:

                c:
                cd\quicken\backup
                xcopy32 *.* a: /r/i/c/h/k/e/y/f >>a:\qcopy.log

                Thanks in advance for any help with this.
                Mike Curits
