Re: Where?...How? -- SHELL w/ DOS commands - Having a TOUGH Time....

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

Thanks very much....

Things seem to be working now....

When the process runs, that dirctory name is passed to the xcopy command and
the files get copied.

When it runs.....the command window will open (and stays open....which it
needs to do)....but it is Minimized at the bottom.

The user needs the visual feedback that the files were copied (or not)....so
they can know when (if) they can continue with the task.

When it is minimized....they really don't know what happened.

I tried the "/q" switch with Shell Environ$("COMSPEC").....but it causes an
error. Using the "/k" switch causes the command window to remain open after
copying the files....but it is minimized.

Is it possible for that command window to show on top of the others....
initially?

Thanks very much.
