Ken,
This run on Windows Server 2003 directly. If it is broken, the Server 2003 is
broken.
Now, as I said, if the batch file is run from the command prompt, it works
perfectly. It is when the task manager starts the program that the problem
occurs. I am not using "start" to run the program.
Is it may be possible that the task manager routine is causing this problem?
