0	Hey a console mode app is kind of a dos program as in it looks like dos but you cant run it in dos, it has to be in windows. When you compile it you will get an .exe in your project folder. You can then schedule it to run at a certain time using Windows Task Scheduler. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Task_Scheduler You can issue dos commands to the system by using Process.Start in the System.Diagnostics namespace: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.diagnostics.process.start.aspx Greendragons, if this helps please login to Mark As Answer. \| Alert Moderator

0	Is it looking for a relative path anywhere in your code? If the exe is run from a different location then it could be an incorrect path. What are you trying to do? Could you post the code for it at all? Greendragons, if this helps please login to Mark As Answer. \| Alert Moderator
