Hi All Sorry for posting this on the main group - but it seems OffTopic is not behaving. This is what I posted there a couple of days ago.
Hi I have a batch file that goes something like: NewPatch.exe //this is a Windows GUI application ATTRIB +R D:\PSLogV2\DBData\*.* This works fine on my Win2K machine - in that it waits for NewPatch to complete before running the ATTRIB line. On a client's Win95 machine, however it doesn't wait for NewPatch.exe to complete (in fact the ATTRIB line runs before the GUI app has even opened its window). Has anyone encountered this problem before? and is there a work around?
