Command Line Mystery? 2

[AlexCuse]

Hi All,

I have an application that runs every day. The first step in processing is to write an FTP script to a directory and then run it through the command line. For months now it has been running alright (although once in a while it stalls at the command line and I need to restart machine to get it to work).

This morning I tried restarting/shutting down my computer at least 10 times and it still was not working. I ran the script manually through the command line and confirmed that it was being written correctly, so I suspect that some change has been made and the machine is no longer allowing access to send data to the command line.

Has anyone had an experience like this? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks a lot,

Alex

PS I am running access 2000

Probably they would. I'm pretty much at a loss here.

Thanks anyway guys. When I figure it out I will post. If you don't hear from me ever again, blame it on my predecessor who wrote all this

One last goofy suggestion before I go home for the day: you could try writing a wrapper for a ShellExecute API call and see if that works any better.

Arrrrr! This morning it ran just fine. When I try running it straight from the shell through code it still gives me the formatting help window though. It seems like I'm back to square one, but at least it is running... I did need to start SQL Server once to get it to work. I have no idea what is going on with this thing. Hopefully we upgrade to access 2003 soon and this is no longer an issue. Thanks for all your help.
