What do you have in the 'Executable program' textbox ? I'm getting the same results with the batch file in c:\progam files\dx4win503\extdata as I did in c:\ .
I've tried the batch file outputting to stdout with this in the textbox: "test.bat %1 > %2" and I've tried the batch file outputting to the manager.res file like the example below, with "test.bat", "test.bat %1" in the textbox. Nothing seems to work. Thanks ----- Original Message ----- From: "John F.
