Heya Nelson
coupla things:
1. running the cron as which user ?
2. for 'that' user - does 'foxpro' invoked at first login prompt work ? if
no - see below
3. once logged in as 'that ' user - does 'foxpro 1dnc###.prg' work ? if
no - see below
---------and now for ----- below
2.a. you have a pathing problem - fix it.
3.a give the cron job the exact pathing to the location of the 1dnc###.prg
file
---- are you setting the job to email you back on success/failure ? you may want to set up the cron job, instead of just ONE line - as a script file - then inside the script file set up your environment variables, and put in the relative path of the prg file. ALSO ? there should be a run time module of sorts - can't remember the exact name, but it wasn't 'foxpro' . But I remember you can invoke a prg with some other command line switches. --- hth - its been a few years since I touched a FPU box .. mondo regards [Bill] -- William Sanders / Electronic Filing Group Remove the DOT BOB to reply via email.
