Hi Matthias,

I made some changes for my batch, but I can't get the last thing
right.

This is what I got:

@echo off&setlocal
setPB=F:\PUBLIC\Uitrollen\Printersverbinden\AllePrintersVerbindenKleur.bat
set P2=F:\PUBLIC\Uitrollen\Printersverbinden\AllePrintersVerbinden.bat
set Users= petra berry
for %%A in (%Users%) do if /I "%USERNAME%" EQU "%%A" set PB=%PB%
call %P2%

(in the original there is a space between 'set' and 'PB' (i.e. set PB,
but I can't get it right in my Free Agent mail)
Now what has to happen is: if Berry or Petra is the one who's logging
in they have to 'use' PB
If anyone else is logging in they have to call P2.

But no matter how I puzzle with the last two lines of the batch I
never get i right.

Could you help me once more, please?

Thanks!
