All these complex solutions to such a simple problem. Please forgive me if this is a repost. I haven't read this group in 14 days and may have overlooked it. Windows applications are called from the directory given on the command line when you click "File Properties." My WFW files are located in C:\DATA\WFW\ My command line looks like: C:\DATA\WFW\WINWORD.EXE The actual program is located at D:\WINWORD\ Simply add D:\WINWORD to your path statement in autoexec.bat. I run almost all my applications this way. It makes backups a breeze... xcopy c:\data\*.* a: /e /s /v /m [/ddate] Or something like that. Not overly advanced, but it works. --------- Dan Aksel
