batch scripting problem

[gfunk123]

I need to run two commands one after the other from a bat file. The commands need to be run in a specific order upon user login (logon scripts)- for example - -

"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\EXCEL.EXE"
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\WINWORD.EXE"

using the above example, excel will run and the script will pause until excel has been closed before running the winword command. I need to (using the above as an example) open excel first and when thats FINISHED loading up, then run excel. I have tryed putting the commands in the startup folder but after testing it seems to randomly load up the items and doesnt follow any specific order.

Is there a command that will continue the script without waiting for the first program to close

any help on this will be greatly appreciated

Have you tried using the pause command in your logon script? I am not sure, but it might work.

It would look something like this..

"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\EXCEL.EXE"
pause
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\WINWORD.EXE"


Hope this helps...

if you are using kix than using a call procedure will run a specific batch file and once executed will than come back to original file.

Thought it might help

HI.

Simply use "start /w" ...

start /w "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\EXCEL.EXE"
start /w "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\WINWORD.EXE"
