Running a remote Batch File

[Guest]

Hello

OS: Windows XP
App: Access 2002 SP3

I want to run a batch file placed on another Networked PC. I have tried
'Shell' but I can not get it to run:

Line 1: strPath = "\\LNWSVISBILL06\c$\Data\Data.bat"
Line 2: Shell strPath

The Batch file extracts details of documents in a Temp Folder and places it
into a text file: <dir c:\temp\*.doc /OD > c:\Data\Data.txt>

Any assistance with this problem will be much appreciated.

Regards
Mike

Try putting Call in front of Shell

hi Mike,

Any error messages?

Line 1: strPath = "\\LNWSVISBILL06\c$\Data\Data.bat"
Line 2: Shell strPath

This should work. Have you checked your credentials? Is the batch
share-aware?

Try running it from the command prompt (cmd.exe).

No error messages. I'll check the security permissions tomorrow.

When I map a drive to the batch file and double click it does not run.

This sounds like a buggy batch.
