Not at work write now, but once I get to work I'll try to post a copy tomorow at the top of the board. It'll probably be about this time tomorrow (no way to post from work). User input is possible as long as it's just like one letter, because you can throw in some BASIC commands that DOS understands like IF and GOTO.
I've been wanting to try to get a batch command to ask for a serial number. And when the user types in the serial number it saves a copy of a pre-made form in word to another location and names it that input serial number and then opens the newly made copy and inserts the serial number in my serial number field. However, I think it may be damn near impossible unless I learn some VB and Program it using access. Making this batch file is bringing back the days of coding games for C64 in BASIC. Damn, I gotta get back into programming that was fun.
