Cant' access batch file via hyperlink in Excel
We have an old MS-DOS program that runs from a batch file. When I try to access the program by clicking on it's hyperlink in an Excel spreadsheet, the program does not load (you can see the command line screen briefly, but it disappears). I can load the problem without any problems from it's network location, so I know the program is working. What is preventing the program from working/loading in Excel?

Can you access the file using a hyperlink on a html?

I entered the network address in the browser address bar, and was able to get to the
parent directory. I could not see the batch file this way.

When I manually entered the network address (including the batch file), it gives me: this:


cd \dbase\prod
call dfxq
call main1
call reset2




Thanks!
