By using
C:\Program Files\Macromedia\Dreamweaver UltraDev 4\UltraDev.exe
the computer reads up to where the space is, then considers the first part as the whole string and the rest as other command parameters.

That nailed it! Thankyou Abhishek and Busy. My knowledge of DOS is limited to changing directories and deleting stuff so I hadn't thought of that!

Thanks again!

true, I forgot about DOS only being so many digits for filenames.

I know the %20 works in url and file/image names, not sure if it works in DOS or not.

Busy, isn't %20 only for URLs?

tried %20 in the .bat file as the space?

C:\Program%20Files\Macromedia\Dreamweaver%20UltraDev%204\UltraDev

I just right clicked the .bat file and selected properties. Clicked the "Program" Tab and checked "Close on Exit".

I have hit another snag though. When it tries run the following line

C:\Program Files\Macromedia\Dreamweaver UltraDev 4\UltraDev.exe

it chokes and say it can't find the file with the following error:

Cannot find file 'C:\Program' (or one of its components). Check to ensure the path and filename are correct and that all required libaries are avaliable

Now I know the file and path are OK so I'm assuming its falling over on the space between Program and Files. How do I get round this?

Ok, I figured out how to strat the apps that I want, is there anyway to close the command window once it has finished running or am I asking for the earth now

I just suggested it because thats how my Apache/MySQL is set up

the contents of the .bat file is:

start c:\php\mysql\mysqld-opt.exe
cd c:\php\apache
apache.exe -k start
