Nope, it was called index.bat :\   I figured that could become a problem, so I made sure that none of my file names exceeded 8+3...


Oh, on a (sorta) side note - During the process of learning to make the BAT files to work properly I learned a little about naming your files *grin*  Whatever you do, DO NOT name any of your stand-alones start.exe if you plan to use a BAT file *blush*  I couldn't figure out why in the world my BAT was opening up shockwave instead of my HTML file.  Apparently the "start" command in the BAT tries to open start.exe :)
