That's what this sample does. It opens cmd.exe, executes the setpath.bat
batch file, thereby setting up the DataFlex environment, then it (the
command prompt window) remains open.

Also, on Windows XP and 2000, I don't see a "batch file" window in the
properties of the Command Prompt, which is why the method changed for
these operating systems.

Regards,
Dennis

What all of you are missing that Tod does not want to run the batch file
directly. He wants to open a DOS box with some settings from a batch
file.
So his short cut points to cmd.exe and he has entered the name of the
batch file in the 'batch file' box of the properties|program tab of the
short cut.

Glennbo, Dennis and all who replied,

Thanks, I got it working after using it the hard way for over 6 months. Just
never thought to ask the group.

Thanks again,
