    Dos

    Whenever I open a .bat file or any DOS file it just opens up and disapears instantly.

    ok well i just found out .bats are suppose to close when finished. Is there a way to make a file in VB that will open msdos and run a file, or a way to keep the msdos window open. The bat file i made is suppose to open a file that runs in MSDOS.

    If you are using 2k/XP, use "cmd" instead of "command".
    All contents of the above post that aren't somebody elses are mine, not the property of some media corporation.
    (Just a heads-up)

    Try del instead of deltree if you are trying to delete a file rather than a directory.

    Why not shell the command...

    Do a search for Shell, as I can't remember the exact code.

    it's something like

    Code:
    shell(C:\windows\command\cmd.exe yourprog.bat)
    Also... right click the .BAT file and uncheck "Close on Exit"... and that'll stop it closing the MSDOS window.

    Regards,

    Paul.

    stick the pause command in somewhere to get a "press any key..." thing.
