Chip,

This worked:

  do "open process" && quote & "C:\bin\newmon.bat" & quote
  do "close process" && quote & "C:\bin\newmon.bat" & quote

I tried everything I could think of in the message box until I got the
batch file to run. And then the message script wouldn't work in the
button, so I resorted to "do" as you see above. Maybe I had a typo. Who
knows? I'm low on sleep.

I couldn't figure out how to get the "C/" part of the script to work and
time was running out, so the cmd window remained open behind the
PowerBuilder app that I opened.

Thanks, again for the help.

Jerry

Jerry,

The /C is a switch which tells DOS to close after running the batch
file.

test.bat is the name of the file...in the same directory as the
command.com file. because it is difficult to always know you have a
correct path, it is easier to just put the file in the same directory as
command.com

you might try fooling around with a designated path like
"C:\bin\newmon.bat" It would look like:

open process "C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND.COM /C C:\bin\newmon.bat"

hope it works!

Jerry,

try:

open process "C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND.COM /C test.bat"

this runs the batch file "test.bat" from within the windows directory
