Can't run batch file from macro or shell

[MCSGraham]

I don't understand this one at all.

I have a program on a person's computer where I do a 'runapp' with a macro to execute a batch file under the person's C drive. It doesn't run the batch file doing this.

The batch file does work because I manually clicked it and it runs fine.

I've also tried using the 'shell' and the batch file's path to execute it and that doesn't work either.

But I've tried running the program on my computer with the same batch file under my C drive and it works.

I can't believe it's a permissions issue cause she's running the program from her computer and the batch file is on her computer too.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Can you post your code?

Not really any code just this:

In Access: Docmd.RunMacro("reformat file&quot

(The macro is 'runapp' with the command line of: c:\reformat.bat)

Batch file:

cd ..
copy c:\iecon.txt g:\ie.txt
exit

Any suggestions?
