command line instruction...urgent!!!!

[swiv]

Hi I'm trying to execute a .bat file on the server and have tried everything but the thing will not run. I have tried...

dim proc as new Process()
proc.StartInfo.FileName = Server.MapPath( "..\FormTemplates\test2.bat" )

proc.Start()

proc.Kill()

and I have tried

Dim dblRet as Double
dblRet = shell ("C:\c2k\nma\portalvb\FormTemplates\test2.bat" )

neither work...I get no error messages and the page loads and refreshes just fine...cept the .bat file will not execute...any ideas please!!!!

SWIV,

I haven't actually tried this myself, but I did look into it a little bit for you. Try this:

Dim dblRet as Double
dblRet = shell ("C:\c2k\nma\portalvb\FormTemplates\test2.bat&quot
AppActivate (dblRet) -----------------------------------------------

I really appreciate your help...and I think I see what your trying to do but now I get this error

Overload resolution failed because no accessible 'AppActivate' can be called without a narrowing conversion:

mmmmmmmmm.....

any ideas?

Right, I found out about Narrowing conversions, but i have a new problem and that is the fact that I get this error message...

Process '3892' was not found.


It can't find the windows process do you think this has something to do with permissions and users?
