hi guys, sorry if i make something wrong. this is my first time here.

I created a batch FILE which copys a file from one location to another and then launch ms-excel.
it does work, but not properly. The problem is that when excel is launched , INSTEAD of opening a NEW blank workbook with 3 blank SHEETS (as std) , it opens a new workbook, with one sheet called as the batch file and shows the content of the batch file.

Code: [Select]echo off copy *.xls d:\ start "c:\....\excel.exe"
could you hlp me , pls?

by the way, the OS is Win 2000, and excell 2003.

thx, max.Quote
