Photoshop :: Creating An �Action� To Change File Type From .psd To .jpg

I have PS v7.0 for PC.

I want to create an �Action� that changes the File type from .psd to .jpg, and then use the �Batch� command to change a whole folder on files.

Here�s what happens so far: I open a file. Then using the �action� pallet, I record the following:

Save as�
I change the �Save In� folder to a different folder.
I change the �Format� from Photoshop (PSD) to JPEG (JPG).
Under JPEG Options, I use the default file size and hit OK.

I them hit the Stop button.

Seems simple enough. And it works for the first file.

But if I use this �action� on a second file, it writes over the original file.

So, how do I create an �action� that allows me to automate the �save as� function and change file types.

This must be a common operation. I have 300+ .psd files that I need to change to .jpg.
