Hi All:

A command button has the following code in its click event.

local mawdrive,mawdirectory,mawpath,mcopysubmit,mawdirtochange
mawdrive = ""
mawdirectory = ""
mawpath = ""
mfiletorun = ""
mawdirtochange = ""

use programlocation && Table contains information about file and directory locations
go top

mawdrive = programlocation.anywaredrv
mawdirectory = programlocation.anywaredrc
mawpath = alltrim(mawdrive)+":\"+alltrim(mawdirectory)+"\MCIBTELE.BAT type sdf"
mfiletorun = alltrim(mawdrive)+":\"+alltrim(mawdirectory)+"\MCIBTELE.BAT"
mawdirtochange = "cd \"+alltrim(mawdirectory)

use 

use PCanywhere exclusive
zap
go top
append blank
replace connectaw with "@echo off"
append blank
replace connectaw with "cd\"
append blank
replace connectaw with mawdirtochange
append blank
replace connectaw with 'awremote -M=D -N="MCIB"'

go top

copy to &mawpath

use

run &mfiletorun

And &mFileToRun whould be something like:

c:\AW\MCIBTELE.BAT

Problem: When the command button is clicked for the first time, the code works and pcAnywhere as supplied by the paying agency is invoked. When the command button is clicked again, all I see is the flash of probably a DOS window and nothing beyond that - in that pcAnywhere is not invoked. Merely shutting down VFP and restarting the applications does not appear to reset the environment. Shutting down the machine completely and rebooting allows me to fire that command button once only.

I have'nt a clue what to do. Suggestions, ideas will be appreciated.
