Hi,

I have a weird problem with my batch.

I am not looking in to programming batches. but when I made my text file (through VB) it give me the error attached. Ignore the second part, that is the one that works.

Thanks

post your code

DOS can understand and obey the "GOOD" bit which commences "start"

It is clearly telling you it does not understand 'squiggle squaggle squat" that precedes your intended "start".

Somehow you have got some junk foriegn characters at the start of the command line.

p.s.  you should use a proper text editor, of which Windows notepad is the simplest/crudest.

Word processors and probably VB are notorious for starting the file with junk,
e.g. commands for page formatting etc.
