youre referencing a relative path '0LiDOC'. I'd assume that the batch file's startup folder does not contain this folder. I suggest using the absolute (full) path. or you could copy the batch to the folder that contains this dir and execute

ok; the batch file was originally in the folder '0LiDOC', which might have been a problem. So ran it from the desktop, but still doesn't work. As I said earlier, when the textis run from the command prompt it works fine.

Thanks again
