Correct. cmd.exe simply opens the window which allows you to run batch files ... that's what CFEXECUTE is already doing for you. So just run this:
<cfexecute name="f:\inetpub\webroot\real_estate_data\hmls\10_hmls_batch files\load_hmls_active_photos.bat" /> >Execute the batch file directly, rather than trying to go via cmd.exe ? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
