If I recall correctly, I believe that you could run a batch file on the server but not on the client.

Hopefully someone has more information soon.

Hope everyone is having a great day!

I havent been on tek-tips for a month now anyways
lemme close all my open requests

The solution to running an exe in a asp.net page on the server is running it within the name space system.diagnostics and class "processstartinfo"

Dim proc As New System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo("c:\authorizedareaforaspnetuser\test.cmd")
proc.RedirectStandardOutput = True
proc.WindowStyle = proc.WindowStyle.Hidden
proc.UseShellExecute = False
Dim SendFile As System.Diagnostics.Process
SendFile = System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(proc)
SendFile.WaitForExit(3000)

Hope it helps )
