Scott, Be sure to enclose the path to LabVIEW and started VI within double quotes, e.g.
"C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 6.1\labview.exe" "c:\path\to\Vi.vi" To start LabVIEW without the batch file waiting until it's done, use the "start" command: start "" "c:\program files\national instruments\labview 6.1\labview.exe" "c:\path\to\Vi.vi" The first argument is for the window title and is left as empty double quotes. It works on W2K and it should be the same for Win98.

With much frustration, I cannot seem to get my labview vi to run from a batch file. Everything appears ok in terms of the directory and filename but I keep getting a bad filename error message. Anyone have any ideas around this? I also tried using the call command with no such luck. Windows 98 is the OS run lv 6.1.
