Running a .bat file

[Chip Harper]

I'm getting tired of using windows explorer to locate my .pss file to turn off the Read Only properties so I created a .bat file which works ....

attrib -r lb.pss

But I can't get it to work from a button ....

^C^C(command "shell" "PSSATT.bat") or ^C^C (startapp "PSSATT.bat")

The .bat file is in the same folder as the pss file and I tried adding the complete path to the macro.

I see the command window flash but the property remains read only.
Suggestions?

Yep, I added a cd to the bat and it worked. Thanks for the tip.

Yep, I got em and I like this better than the .bat approach. Thanks.

You're welcome. That is just about the only ET function that I use (or did use). I quit using that plotstamp long ago due to the silliness of that read only business and no option at the command line to change .pss files. I personally liked the hard-wired stamp that R14 had better than anything else.
