I need to have a batch script which calls up a 32-bit application. The part that I am interested in is that a directory must be created prior to the launch of the application. There has to be some kind of conditional logic to ascertain if the directory exists or not and this must only be done in windows 98 workstations. This batch script is being called from within Oracle Forms and hence will run by users using Windows 2000 and Windows 98

You did the right thing Johns, you tried to help which is what these forums are about. I accept this was posted on the wrong forum.

If it was schoolwork then the poster is the loser because he/she did not learn the best way, which is to fathom it out for yourself.

So your saying that if I gave a bunch of specs on my PC and program I am trying to run from a batch file that it looks like school work?

Go look at the networking and win 2k/XP forum where people are asking how to setup DNS servers and NAT.. That could be anyones school work...

I dont come to this site to ask people if this is for there school project or not, I come here to help...
