Let me do some tests with a .BAT file, all tests have been done with EXE files that return an errorlevel, and that's different. could be that the OS is starting the command interpreter (line cmd) and that it's giving back the errorlevel that the command interpreter gives (0 in this case) and not the .BAT that is running inside it. dirk

C:\Program Files (x86)\CountError\CountError.bat no quotes or extra characters. The batch file is running because it writes results to a file (output.txt). That file is changing but the errorlevel is returned as 0 every time.
