   Hi Tony,   
      
   Many thanks for the speedy response, but...   
      
   I tried:   
      
   if not execute(("\"\\K06\\K06 apps\\ten.bat\""))   
   	then errorShow()   
   endif   
      
   but get the same error.   
      
   Also, you mention "the space" but I don't see one to   
   eliminate.   
      
   'any further thoughts?   
      
   All the best,   
   --   
   Kenneth
