command prompt in SQL job

[icemel]

Hi,

Not sure if I'm doing this right. I need to start an .exe from a job step.

I selected "command prompt" as command type, and put this in the bottom section:

cd d:
cd myDir
myExe.exe

except that I don't think it worked. Is this the correct way to sequence commands?

Thanks

Try using xp_cmdshell if your permissions are sufficient.
