The general problem with shelling out to the command line type of program/bat file is that you also shell out the error messages. If you can write code to do it you can get a real error result. Otherwise you're guessing like we are now. Assuming that the command is actually correct and the files are in the expected location, you're running in immediate mode in the UI sequence so on UAC systems you might be running limited and unable to access the log file to copy it. --------------- Phil Wilson
