The problem is that the batch file 'called' the app. It isn't going to close, until the app closes. A simple way around this would be to have a little VB .exe Shell out to the app, then close. Then have your batch file call your VB.exe, since it closes once it's run the shell command, everything should close right away. Then again, if you are shelling out with VB, why would you need a batch file! <grin> Drew -----Original Message----- From: Darren DICK [mailto:d.dick at uws.edu.au] Sent: Thursday, August 28, 2003 7:41 PM To: AccessD List Subject: [AccessD] A2K:OT: Get a batch file to quit or close Hello all I have a batch file that gets the latest server version of an app - copies it locally then sparks it up So far so good. My problem is, I want the 'DOS' window to go away after it has sparked up the app. This is a Win2000 Serv Pack 4 box I have tried the usual settings in the properties window both for the batch file and the Shortcut. Minimised the window changed the colours etc etc. Can't find a switch to actually make it close after it loads the app or 'not' appear in the task bar Anyone know of a DoCmd.Quit command for dos? Many thanks in advance Darren _______________________________________________ AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com
