Right idea, but wrong implementation. What that does is pass one very long file name as the script file, with no parameters. This is right, modulo the line splitting: python ImportFiles_test.py "C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 7.1\project\calibration\FREQUENCY_13.CSV" -- - Tim Roberts, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Providenza & Boekelheide, Inc. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
