Jonathan: You need quotes around the path to sr, because it contains spaces. I would forget about the start command altogether and do the following: "c:\program files\aph\studio recorder\sr.exe" "c:\rtp.wav" /record 07:00:10 In this case, rtp.wav must already exist, or an error will be given. I don't think this should work, but it does. I thought we were always creating a new window with /record, but you managed to find a way around this (for now.) Rob Meredith >>> milamj@xxxxxxx 01/24/07 10:48AM >>> Hi Rob and All, The saga continues. Maybe others are seeing this as well. I have now been able to get Studio to record the file by creating a shortcut to sr.exe and placing it in C:\. So my Batch file has the following line: start c:\sr.exe "c:\rtb.wav" /record 07:10:00 However, if I change this to the actual sr.exe location: start c:\program files\aph\studio recorder\sr.exe "c:\rtb.wav" /record 07:10:00 The command doesn't work. I have ensured that this is the correct path, but for some reason, windows doesn't like it. It tells me that it cannot find c:\program. Any ideas on this? Why can't Windows run sr.exe from its default location. Jonathan -----Original Message----- From: Milam, Jonathan E.

I know that part of it would have to be: sr.exe /record 06:10:00 But I'm not sure where the file name fits in to that line. Also, would I not need: C:\program files\aph\studio recorder Before sr.exe? Thanks, Jonathan
