Well thanks for the help guys, I had already tried all those suggestions, but I moved the batch file to the root of the C drive instead of in the directory I wanted it in, and it worked. The directory it was in had an @ sign in the name....One of those weird quirks I should have known might cause a problem. Thanks folks.

Check paths for proper format IE "c:\ Program Files\"

Also check to make sure you are using an account that has access to the files.

Also put some pauses in the batch job and see what it is failing at.

this might be a problem with paths.

do a search of your hdd for the filename u specify to see if its being created in the wrong place.

Your only using the relative cd switch instead of the absolute cd\

then again i dont know what your entering in the server path. if ur including the entire path it should be fine.

just an idea tho.

thanks for the response, but the task scheduler apparently doesn't get along with shortcuts because it says "Could not start" on the status column of the scheduler.

This may or may not work but it's an idea anyway...
1.create a shortcut icon for the program
2.right click on icon go to properties experiment with some compatibility options
with the shortcut dragged to the task scheduler not the batch file itself.

Hope it works
