Instead of your batch file, you can use any DOS command ("Dir >tmp.txt" would do), and use "NOR" instead of "HID" as the last parameter while testing, so you get to see your DOS window.

Dragan,

oprocess=createobject('api_apprun', ' ', lcbatFile, lcThere, 'NOR')
Generated a 'must specify additional parameters' error.

Removing the ' ' worked, * but * the black DOS windows appears and the zipping is not visible at any time although the files zips successfully.
This occurs for both the 'NOR' and 'HID' params.
