Hello again,
Well, I have it working now (and will move the bat file to a
sub-folder).
Many thanks to all,

It is 'traditional' for part of the thanks to be how the problem was resolved.
That way the error and solution could be the next person's resolution to
the same issue.
Any hints? Was the 'cmd' what fixed yours?

Hi Tony,
(Not only "traditional", but also "sensible"... 'sorry)
if not execute ("C:\\ten.bat")
then errorShow()
endif
was what worked (prior to my moving the batch file.)
All the best,

Hi!
> Execute("cmd /c start "+GetAliasPath(":WORK:")+"\\mybat.bat",No,
> ExeShowNormal)
Warning: after START, the name/title of the windows (optional) is
between " " ; to avoid any ambiguity, add \"\"
Warning_2: GetAliasPath can return single \ ; do not forget to double
them.
Warning_3: GetAliasPath can return path with spaces ; do not forget
to add " (begin + end)
But, START is a good idea. I use often this way of making.

OK, but I never specify any title for the windows and never had any problem
but maybe there could be a situation?
Wait - now I see, if I DO add "" as per your warning 3 - then I MUST add the
title as well.

That I don't get? I think that it will _always_ return single backslashes
and that is also what I need when I run the start command. Or?
> Warning_3: GetAliasPath can return path with spaces ; do not forget to

Good point. As all my Paradox stuff is using good old DOS-standard for all
paths involved I never considered it.
This should work then even with paths with spaces.
Execute("cmd /c start \"\" \""+GetAliasPath(":WORK:")+"\\mybat.bat\"" , No,
ExeShowNormal)
