blueman blueman Fresh Scripter Registered: 2004-06-24 Posts: 12	Which command would replace the dos START command? An example of the START command is as follows: start "tittle" /w "C:\Program Files\Cognos\cer3\bin\trnsfrmr.exe" -n2 -s "D:\Cubes\AllCubesNew\RetailValidation\KeyedRetailSales.pyi" Thanks!

Les Les KiX Master Registered: 2001-06-11 Posts: 12734 Loc: fortfrances.on.ca	There is no KiX command. START is a DOS cammand. Just use SHELL or RUN to use START or other DOS commands. Code: run '%comspec% /c start www.kixtart.org' _________________________ Give a man a fish and he will be back for more. Slap him with a fish and he will go away forever.

Richard H. Richard H. Administrator Registered: 2000-01-24 Posts: 4946 Loc: Leatherhead, Surrey, UK	For some reason recently, everyone is suffering from spaces in %COMSPEC% - bizarre! Anyhoo, try this: Code: Shell '"%COMSPEC%" /c "C:\Program Files\Cognos\cer3\bin\trnsfrmr.exe" -n2 -s "D:\Cubes\Net\ModelsCubes\Net Shipments.pyi"'

Windows NT 4 C:\WINNT\System32 Windows 2000 C:\WINNT\System32 Windows XP C:\Windows\System32 Should not be any spaces in the default installations.
