Thanks, I nearly had it right. I think it was because I did not try using the comspec in the shell command. I tried it with the shell command, but could not get it to work. I removed the /wait command as what I was looking for was for the script to wait for the program to load, not wait for the program to close. But I got it working thanks

Sorry to take so long to get back to you, but its been so many disruptions on this end, that I never got a chance to get back to you.
