  The e+e- annihilation data recorded with the BABAR detector has been used to
study B^0 decays to Ds^(*)+ and D^*-$ mesons. The production fraction of
inclusive Ds^(*)+ and the corresponding momentum spectra have been determined.
Exclusive decays B^0 --> D^*- Ds^(*)+ have been identified with a partial
reconstruction technique and their branching ratios have been measured. Fully
reconstructed B^0 decays in the hadronic modes B^0 --> D^*- pi+ andB^0 --> D^*-
rho+ have been also studied and the measurement of their absolute branching
fractions is reported.
