"Batch Submit" in SAS broken

Hi.

SAS is not the most common program, I know (it's a stats/data program), but I hope you can help. 'Batch Submit' is an option in the right click context menu which, when selecting a SAS program file, executes it and produces two files; a log file (*.log) and an output file (*.lst). Prior to xplorer V1.2 it saved these two files in the same directory as the program file. This is also true of Windows Explorer. However, xplorer V1.2 now saves these two files in xplorer's root directory.

Is there something I need to change? The syntax of the 'Batch Submit' call is C:\PROGRA~1\SASINS~1\SAS\V8\sas.exe "%1" -nologo. I'm suspecting the %1 is the little blighter...!

Thanks for any help, Rich

(thin chance)
have you checked the new advanced option "don't lock browsed folder" ?

No, sorry, that doesn't seem to work.

Apologies, it does work after all (well, unchecking it works which I'm sure is what you meant). Oddly though, on batch submit MS Word now automatically opens displaying an empty document. I'm sure this is less an xplorer issue, and something dodgy with my 'puter...

Thank you.
