I believe this can be achieved by clever use of the new <selectors> sub-elements of <fileset>. Check it out in the doc. --DD

In other words, if I have the following files in a directory: sample.foo1 (unchanged, foo1 exists) sample.foo2 (changed, foo2 exists) sample.foo3 (new, foo3 does not exist) only foo3 should be copied. Suggestions? tia, Christian ---------------------------------------------- Christian Cryder [[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Internet Architect, ATMReports.com Barracuda - http://barracuda.enhydra.org ---------------------------------------------- "Coffee?
