batch file to open multiple worksheets
I would like to run a batch file to open multiple Excel worksheets but if I
put the path to both sheets, it only opens the first one. What am I doing wrong? I'm using Excel 2003 SP-1 |

I should also add that once I close Excel, then the second worksheet opens.

Use start rather than just running them:
c: cd\ start poly.xls start qwerty.xls exit If you just run them, the bat file hangs until you finish the first application and then runs the second application. "starting" something allows no waiting -- Gary's Student "Kurt S" wrote: I should also add that once I close Excel, then the second worksheet opens.

You are very welcome.
b.t.w. if you do a lot of bat files, you should checkout Windows Scripting Host. It's just as much fun as DOS 6.22 -- Gary's Student "Kurt S" wrote: That did the trick. Thank you Gary.
