Batch file not closing after executing

Hello

I am trying to run a simple batch code but it is not closing after executing.

Have tried the following, but none of them close

'------------------------------------------
COPY C:\NATIVGRP\NATIV14.accdb C:\LAST\NATIV14.accdb /y
C:\NATIVGRP\NATIV14.accdb
'------------------------------------------
OR
'------------------------------------------
COPY C:\NATIVGRP\NATIV14.accdb C:\LAST\NATIV14.accdb /y
C:\NATIVGRP\NATIV14.accdb
EXIT
'------------------------------------------
OR
'------------------------------------------
COPY C:\NATIVGRP\NATIV14.accdb C:\LAST\NATIV14.accdb /y
CALL "C:\NATIVGRP\NATIV14.accdb"
EXIT

Thanks.

How big is the nativ14.accdb file ?

Try putting a PAUSE command between the first and the second line, lauch the batchfile and wait long enough before you press enter at the pause (to allow the copy to finish, as I believe that is the problem)and see if it exits correctly. If it does, you should insert a loop that checks the existence of the copied file before running it.

Dirk
