Hi,

I have a batch file that runs a command with parameters. The batch file contains just one line - EG:

program.exe -uUsername -pPassword -cConnection

I would like to have the user prompted to enter thier username and passoword when they run the batch file, rather than have a USername & PAssword hard-coded in the batch file. How can I do this?

Thanks for your help!

Lee
