I didn't post it what's in it because I didn't consider it to be relevant.
All that's in it is a number of net send instructions. I noticed that,
poking around in a database I *used* to administer, every so often this
batch file would fire up, even though there's no reference to it in the
code. The guy that put it in place has been made redundant so I can't
exactly ask him.
Thanks for the follow-up.
From what you've said, the mdb calls the bat file, and not the other
way around. The file may be some sort of 'ET phone home' signal which
some developers use to document application usage/registration,
although that is more common with third party software than software
developed in house.
In any event, although you may not have seen any obvious code calls to
the bat file from the mdb, I'd wager strongly that that is in fact
where the trigger is. If you want to send over the mdb file, I'll
tell you definitively if and where the call is.

Peter Miller
