Which is what the problem is. The CMD window is NOT showing up for me
with the /interactive switch in there. It is showing up in the
processes list under TaskManager though.

The underlying issue that caused me to go down this route is that I
have a batch file that FTPs files to an external server. When I run it
manually the process works fine. When I run it as part of the scheduled
task the files don't go up. So my options are either get this
/interactive cmd to work or to somehow capture the data in a log of
some sort.

Any help would be appreciated.

So why don't you capture your ftp messages? You could
do it like so:

@echo off
echo %date% %time% Start of task > c:\test.log
echo User=%UserName%, Path=%path% >> c:\test.log
ftp -s:c:\ftp.scr ftp.larry.com 1>> c:\test.log 2>c:\test.err
echo %date% %time% End of task > c:\test.log

Now have a look at the two log files and all will become clear!
