@ echo off
start FinancialCoursenotes.pdf
exit

I tried that...still no go....Any Ideas?

[oldnewbie]

You sure you have this fscommand subfolder bit correctly set up?
And is the .pdf in it?

[liquid_len]

let's see again...
on button in projector

on (release) {
fscommand("exec", "FinancialCoursenotes.bat");
}


in folder named fscommand

FinancialCoursenotes.bat
FinancialCoursenotes.pdf

in the text document a named FinancialCoursenotes.bat i put

@ echo off
start FinancialCoursenotes.pdf
exit

start projector, press button...nothing

!?!?!

Where is your acrobat reader .exe? In c:\windows?

What OS are you using?

Try replacing the line...

start FinancialCoursenotes.pdf

With...

start notepad.exe

Just to see if it will open Notepad?

Tries it and it didnt work.....I running Windows XP, and it's a projector file running fullscreen....Does that matter? I minimised the projector to make sure the projector wasnt blocking it....

[oldnewbie]

Well, guess someone running XP and having done this, will have to pick this up. 'Cause I'm on ME and all of this works fine!
Sorry!
