Hi dmeierotto,
The syntax looks like your trying to do 2 things at once..what exactly are you trying to do?
Let us know

Is this a great site or what!

Just try typing:

md tempfile

Extended error nnn means that the error couldn't be found between the internal error messages in Command.com OR that Command.com couldn't be found.

Command /c MD xxx is unnecessary but correct syntax.

Thank you Ate, the reason I'm using command.com is because I'm writing a program in Clarion that runs a few dos commands. It is for a client who uses a citrix server and I think it is an error with citrix more than it is with dos. I think your answer will help out a lot....

Thanks,

Dan

I would create a batch file to MD TEMPFILE. Because of the space between the MD and TEMPFILE, it may be regarded as 2 seperate actions. Thus Extended.
