Dear gregb,

We advise you to try following code.
Before running shell command we create first the command string.

code:
   IF (len(@ldrive) <> 0)
     IF (Substr(@ldrive,len(@ldrive),1) = "\")
       $cmd=@ldrive+"createprf.exe "+$fullname+" -Mailbox=emailserver\"+@userid+" -default"
     ELSE
       $cmd=@ldrive+"\createprf.exe "+$fullname+" -Mailbox=emailserver\"+@userid+" -default"
     ENDIF
   ELSE
     $cmd="c:\createprf.exe "+$fullname+" -Mailbox=emailserver\"+@userid+" -default"
     ? "warning KIX-ldrive: empty value."
   ENDIF
   ? "command to execute: "+$cmd
   ;
   SHELL '%comspec% /c '+$cmd
   IF (@error <> 0)
     ? "Warning KIX: error @error (@serror)"
   ENDIF
possible problems are
- @ldrive doesn't return a value.
- @ldrive returns f.e. "c:\" instead of "c:"
Please return the output to the board.
greetings.
