I remember using .bat files in the past, but last time I tried to make something like this, when I clicked on the file nothing happened (in XP). What's the deal with that? Do you I have to run it from command line?

If you click on a bat file the window doesn't stay open, so you don't get to see the errors. If there are no errors it should work. The only way I know in XP to have the window stay open is to open a "Command Prompt" and navigate to the bat file, then run it. I suspect there _is_ a way to have the window remain open, probably some registry setting. Martin
