Re: VB6 Service can't run .bat file

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

BTW, I can make this work by calling the executables directly in each line of the .bat file. But I would really like to know how to run a .bat file from a service in case I ever need to do it again.

Thanks for all your help on this... User rights and privileges always kick my butt! ;-)

I need to make a modification to a service written in VB6 that modifies and then executes a .bat file. This runs fine when it's run from the command line, but when I start it as a service, it creates the .bat file but doesn't run it. I'm sure there's some sort of a permissions issue with the account the service is running under but I've tried the local system account as well as the administrator's account and there is no difference.

Can someone tell me what I need to do in order to run a .bat file from a service?

Thanks,

Steve
