Batch file 1 should work when you get the PATH statements correct as per my
previous post. Note that you can check the PATH setting at any time by simply entering PATH and enter. Batch file 2 is missing a space after bin for three of the lines. I suspect in both cases you need to pass the full path to the source file - eg 'c:\PalmDev\Source\helloworld.rpc' instead of just 'helloworld.rpc'. -- Jeff Richards MS MVP (Windows - Shell/User) "Dingus" wrote in message ...
