Hi, Why is it that the START switch doesn't work when its used on a machine unattended i.e. the following command works fine when you are actually signed onto the box but if it's issued from a routine that's running in the background but when no one is actually signed on it doesn't work. C:\WINNT\system32\CMD.EXE /c start "My Title" rexx.exe c:\mydir\myscript.rex The same happens with the scheduler. The above command never actually works unattended but if you are signed onto the box at the time the job is scheduled it runs absolutely fine. Any ideas ? Thanks Paul
