Thanks for the reply,, I am trying to use the above application using psexec()in command line.But it failed returning the error message exited with error code 255. But when I ran the application normally it worked fine.Do I need to add anything to my python script(either the main one or the script which is calling it) to make it work. Thank you, Venu Madhav. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
