I am trying to set up a batch file to run 3 separate batch files.... basically the master batch file reads.. file1 file2 file3 where file1 is file1.bat, file2 is file2.bat, etc. The master batch file will run file1.bat but then stops there. How do i get it to run the next two without hanging up. I have tried the command /c file1....2....3 on separate lines without sucess. Would appreciate any help

Try having the first file call the second, and the second call the third. Just put the call at on the last line of each file. Hope this helps, Chris

You can also have the primary batch file "call" the other batch files instead of just run them by their names. Ex: in main batchfile call batch1 call batch2 call batch3 If you leave out the words call then when the batch1 file terminates, it causes the main batch to also termintate.
