batch file

56
Can I have command with code on the on click go out and open a bat file that is on another pc local drive. that bat file will open up an access database and run some down loads.

I need a user to tell me when they are done so I can download the files and I wanted to automate this so I didn't have to wait until they say they are done then go and hit a button on my second pc to download the files. it will lock the computer up for about an 1 hour.

So I wanted the user to say down hit a button that will call the bat file on my second pc to open and open the database and the autoexec would run and start the job.

If the batch script and database is on another PC, how have u setup the connectivity?

Have u shared a folder on the 2nd PC and mapped that as a drive?

Or u gonna use full unc path?

Use Shell like Mary said to run batch scripts but hardcoding of paths is required which is why u need to setup a path that wont change


What is your batch script, is it vbscripting?
