Andy, Thanks VERY much for that info.
I assume the syntax in the command line is the same as in the OPT file plus leading dash: -PRESCHEDULECMD 'cmd.exe /c "d:\Oracle\database\idevhotbackup.cmd" ' Is that correct? Thanks again. Tab The problem is that OPTFILE is not a valid option in the schedule definition. You can, however, include the PRESCHEDULECMD option in the schedule definition.

The command line is your friend. "Good enough" is the enemy of excellence.
