I think your problem is MS Access is forking and running in the
background, causing the BAT to exit.

Open up a command window and run your bat file in it. How long before
your
BAT exits and goes back to the command prompt? If the answer is "before
I
close MS Access", then there's nothing you can do about it.

ms access closes before the cmd promt closes when i run the bat file
manually.
it also runs when i run the .bat file through start>run>cmd shell. so
that is not the problem
this is obviously not a ms access issue. no matter what file i try to
run in php, it always runs in the background and never closes untill i
end the proccess through the task manager.
i am using windows xp pro if that makes any diff at all?
