hi Daren,

It's Sunday and not many appear to be working today so I'll take a SWAG. Is 
it possible that the Shell command is opening a dos window to open the batch 
file, then the batch file is opening a dos widow to do it's thing.???

Hi Team



I use the line below to open and 'run' a batch file



Call Shell(strFileName)



Can anyone tell me why 2 dos (Command) windows open?



The syntax is valid - everything is cool - but 2 of them open up and then 
start
trying to process the lines in the batch file



And no. There is not some second call buried elsewhere in the code





Many thanks



Have a great day



Darren
