Thanks, that worked. You'd think Microsoft would support their own conventions (e.g. path names with spaces in them) better in XP than in earlier versions, but no...
Migrating to XP is turning out to be a real PITA. Starting with it destroying my LAN and rearranging the user interface to make it "cute" it's been keeping me hot under the collar. And to think I even had to pay for it. It's enough to make you want to kick the "file search" puppy!! -- - Bill Thoen ------------------------------------------------------------ GISnet, 1401 Walnut St., Suite C, Boulder, CO 80302 tel: 303-786-9961, fax: 303-443-4856 http://www.gisnet.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------ Dewen Hou wrote: > > > Use this: > > start/wait "c:\Progra~1\MAPINFO\MapBasic\MAPBASIC.EXE" > -NOSPLASH -D %1.mb > > > Bill Thoen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> on 12/08/2003 03:45:21 PM > > > To: MapInfo-L <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > cc: > > Subject: MI-L Compiling MB apps with UltraEdit and XP > > > I'm trying to move my MB development platform from Win98 to XP, > > and it seems that batch files don't run the same.
