Hi, I have an applicattion that copies several documents to a server, that
server has a batch file that copies the documents to other locations that
only it can see, I need to be able to run the batch file on the server but
when I try it runs the batch file locally on my PC instead of the server,
could someone point me in the right direction please.

Thanks
David

Hi,

How are you running the program? Is it a link on your desktop, VBA from
within Word, a bat file?

Hi, the initail code is VBA in Word 2002, this code copies the Documents to
the main server, the server has a .bat file on it that copies to 6 other
servers, there is a scheduled task to run the .bat file every hour but I
need to force the update if content changes, these 6 servers are not visible
from my desktop so I currently have to remote the server and run the .bat
file manually, I would ideally like the VBA code to be able to run the batch
file after copying the Documents.
