When I create an action button using @ command ([execute]); “\\server\share\xxxx.exe” nothing happens. When I look at the properties of the button the executable becomes “\server\share\xxxx.exe”. If I enter “\server\share\xxxx.exe” that is converted into “\serversharexxxx.exe”. Is there a way to create an action button the will launch an executable program that is hosted from a network share?
Subject: @ command not working
Try this: @Command([Execute];{\server\share\xxxx.exe})
If it’s a long file name you may need to put double quotes inside the curly brackets. I haven’t tested it, so I’m not completely sure it will work. I recall reading somewhere that XP SP2 made some changes to the way applications get launched and it might prevent it from working.
Good luck!

I tried your suggestion and it did not execute. I then edited the script slightly and it worked. The final command ended up as: @command ([execute];“\\server\share\xxxx.exe”).Pay attention to your spaces.
Thanks for your help.
