I have a batch file that finds out its path whereever it is. Wheter it is in my documents or in program files, I want the same file to know where it is. A little help please?

Well, the batch file is in C:\Documents and Settings\Jim\My Documents\Shirts and it calls another batch file in the same place. I want the first batch file to be able to run the second one if the second one is in C:\Documents and Settings\Bob\My Documents\Pants or C:\Documents and Settings\Jane\My Documents\Hats
I hope you can help!

So you mean you want the first one to find the second? Or do you want to hard-wire the location of the second?

If the name is consistent, let's call it my.bat, you can:
::== first.bat @echo off setLocal EnableDelayedExpansion
for /f "tokens=* delims= " %%a in ('dir /s/b/a-d "C:\Documents and Settings\my.bat"') do ( call "%%a" ) ::==
