Welcome to TenForums.

I think I ought to suggest posting in
SS64 cmd forum
instead but since your question is straightforward, I'll help you here.

If your intention is for the For command to cycle through a list of files in the folder & its subfolders then it is incorrect. It should be in the form

Code:

For /F "tokens=*" %%V in (' Dir "D:\Desktop\*.afd" /s /b ') do echo %%V

so, for your case, you'd want

Code:

For /F "tokens=*" %%v in (' Dir "%B%\*.afd" /s /b ') DO (
 cmd /C ""C:\Program Files\AutoForm\AFplus\R8F\bin\AFCopy.exe" -check -jn "%%v"" 
 )

- I have assumed that your %B% does not end with a backslash \. If it does then remove the backslash from my code.
- I know nothing about your AFCopy and can only assume that you have tested that cmd /c … syntax in a shortcut.
