[RBG7-L] - RE: Launch versus ZIP

[ttc . inc]

Thanks everyone.  The program works fine, I was just wanting to insure I was using the latest (and greatest!) syntax.  I am now clear between the two intended syntax functions.

Bob,

I think Launch is for launching files using the associated (registered) program.  Like Launch C:\rbti\rbg7\readme.txt would launch notepad on my system because .txt is a registered extension for notepad.

 

You still need zip to RUN external commands.

Subject: [RBG7-L] - Launch versus ZIP

 

I have an application where I am mapping a drive using the NET USE command.

It does not work with LAUNCH but works fine with ZIP.  Is this the intended syntax?  For some reason I thought ZIP was being replaced by LAUNCH.

 

This works:

ZIP net use L: \\DellServer\Public /persistent:yes /user:username password

 

This does not work nor shows any errors:

 

LAUNCH net use L: \\DellServer\Public /persistent:yes /user:username password

 

Is ZIP the preferred syntax?

Thanks!
