Jon,
Thank you for your response. Is this something that you actually use? I have tried the same thing and I got another Tango Server error: The program "D:\Perl\bin\perl.exe D:\_KA\admin\test2.pl" does not exist, or is not readable. The same string works fine when entered at the command line; or if I change the External Command to invoke a batch file containing this string. Thank you again.

All I get is this Tango Server error: Unable to execute command line external action: D:\_KA\admin\myFile.pl %1 is not a valid Win32 application. - I use Windows 2000, Tango 2000, ActiveState Perl latest version; - Extension .pl is associate with perl.exe and the perl executable works fine from the command line. The command is: "D:\apps\myFile.pl"' - Using a .bat file works OK; also executing a perl file from within a .bat file works. Many thanks, Mike Bravu. _________________________________________________________________ Send and receive Hotmail on your mobile device: http://mobile.msn.com ________________________________________________________________________ TO UNSUBSCRIBE: send a plain text/US ASCII email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe witango-talk in the message body ________________________________________________________________________ TO UNSUBSCRIBE: send a plain text/US ASCII email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe witango-talk in the message body _________________________________________________________________ Join the worlds largest e-mail service with MSN Hotmail. http://www.hotmail.com ________________________________________________________________________ TO UNSUBSCRIBE: send a plain text/US ASCII email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe witango-talk in the message body
