Hi all,

Running into some issues with <cfexecute>. I have a utility that takes a XLS 
document and creates an old school DBF file for use in a third party system. 

If I run the following from the command line:
[pathname]dbfview.exe -I[pathname]/myExcel.xls -O[pathname]/myDbf.dbf -XLStoDBF 
-HEADERS=0

All works fine. It takes less than a second for this to execute and create the 
new DBF file. But when I pull into CF and try to use <cfexecute> I haven't been 
achieving success.

I've tried ...

<cfexecute name="c:/windows/system32/cmd.exe" arguments="/c 
[pathname]dbfview.exe -I[pathname]/myExcel.xls -O[pathname]/myDbf.dbf -XLStoDBF 
-HEADERS=0" variable="dirResult" timeout="10" /> 

And every various combination I can think of. There is nothing in the output or 
error variables. I hear a Windows system beep in the background immediately 
after I execute the page though. So there seems like there is a problem. Just 
not sure what that problem is or how to figure it out.

I see the dbfview.exe process in task manager, so I know it's at least calling 
the right executable.

Any thoughts?
