I am doing exactly what you are trying to do. The key is to start each command in your batch file (assuming DOS batch file) with the call command. This prevents the external application from terminating your batch file. Here is an example of a line from my batch file: call C:\temp\fop-0.95\fop.bat -xml c:\temp\_plmReportingData\tpm\xml\tpmDump.xml -xsl c:\temp\_plmReportingData\tpm\fo\tpmSIPTBlueReleased.xsl -pdf c:\temp\_plmReportingData\tpm\pdf\tpmSIPT_BlueReleased.pdf Hope this helps, Mark J. Miller
