Yeah, that was exactly my problem; I had no way to diagnose what was going on, and needed a springboard to tell me what I needed to know in order to figure out what was happening (or not). I could verify that the script *worked*, since I could run it from a DOS prompt without errors. But when I ran it using CreateProcess (and ProcessStartInfo), I didn't see it execute (since it would have created a file in its directory). However, your answer that I can write it directly with pywin32 intrigues me, especially since I'd rather develop in Python anyway. I'll go see what's involved in doing that. Thanks for the pointer! _______________________________________________ python-win32 mailing list python-win32@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-win32
