Harry,

Your PKZIP command is missing new ZIP file name.

RUN PKZIP -& myzipfile *.dbf *.cdx *.fpt

>When I execute the following command from either the command window or from an application executed in the command window it works OK. However, when I attempt to execute from the desktop (run the executable) it only executes the PKZIP portion of the command (ie, does not pick up the parameters).
>
> RUN PKZIP -& *.dbf *.cdx *.fpt
>
>PKZIP.exe is located in the default directory.
>
>Any answers will be appreciated.
