Multiple Occurances of CMD.exe

[JesseH]

I have the call shell command with the parameter below
Quote MDString = "cmd.exe /c \\Drawing\d\Progra~1\AutoCA~1\aclt.exe \\drawing\d\acadwork\m2cp.dwg /b \\Drawing\D\ACAD.scr" EndQuote

It works fine. The problem is that the cmd.exe does not close and soon we have hundreds of cmd.exe running and that brings down the system. I am looking for a way to close the Dos window or kill the command.

Thanks in Advance for the help.

Do you really need to use CMD?

And what about simply this ?
MDString = "\\Drawing\d\Progra~1\AutoCA~1\aclt.exe \\drawing\d\acadwork\m2cp.dwg /b \\Drawing\D\ACAD.scr"

Hope This Helps, PH.
