Looks like I am not allowed to use xp_cmdshell. I will send a email to our security people to find out why. <br />
<br />
SQL Server blocked access to procedure 'sys.xp_cmdshell' of component 'xp_cmdshell' because this component is turned off as part of the security configuration for this server. A system administrator can enable the use of 'xp_cmdshell' by using sp_configure. For more information about enabling 'xp_cmdshell', see &quot;Surface Area Configuration&quot; in SQL Server Books Online.<br />

<div>
It is disabled by default ad it opens up alot of possible trouble
</div>


<div>
Since our server security team will not allow us access to this command I cannot try. I will award you the points since it looks like it might have worked.<br />
Thanks.
