Login.bat with long filename error

Not recommended, since the short filename in question may not end with ~1.

Better to just use the long filename and enclose the path in quotes:

"//servername/apps/intuit/track-it 6.0 standard/audit32.exe"

Actually, I wrote in my post that using
start "//share/long path..../audit32.exe

The above just brings up a command prompt window on the users PC and never actually does anything

I did get things solved though by just making that folder a share and using an 8-character name for it, so now the path is just

//share/track-it/audit32.ex

Now the trick is getting Track-It to work correctly for me. =

Thanks Austin and Bill for your comments.
