Hi,
I have a DOS job which runs fine in Windows 98 SE but won't run in W2K. Is there a way to fix this problem?
Thanks.

I'd suggest:
1) Print the batch job
2) On the windows2000 computer, start --> run --> cmd
3) type in each line and see where windows 2000 is having the problem.

Win98SE, and Win2000 should not be much different in batch files, but there may be slight differences depending on what the batch file is supposed to do (ie. winipcfg versus ipconfig). Running through each line manually should make the problem line(s) obvious.

Thanks for the advice.
The first cmd that does not run is "choice". Do you happen to know that the substitute command is for W2K?
Thanks.
