Thanx in Advance,
Woody53Oz

Try changing the following...

From - IF RedirectOutput("C:\idktemp\logon.txt") = 0

To - IF RedirectOutput("C:\idktemp\logon.txt",0)

What happens if you try this:

break on

IF RedirectOutput("C:\logon.txt") = 0
?
? " Welcome to XYZ Company: " + @FULLNAME ?
?
? " Date & Time : " + @mdayno + " " + @month + " " + @year + " " + @time ?
?
? " Logged on as : " + @userid ?
?
? " Authenticated by : " + @lserver ?
?
ELSE
?"@ERROR: @SERROR"
ENDIF

One of these paths has to get executed - and either one will tell you something interesting ...

What OS? What KiX version?

We look at your code and even with little changes we can't reproduce
your error messages.
The only things are:
- you are using an extremly old kixtart version. RedirectOutput was
introduced at release 3.20
- previous code in your script is initiating that error message.
Question:
- which kixtart version?
- are the kixtart binaries from the same release?
- can you put a part of previous lines of your code on the board?
greetings.

IF @PRODUCTTYPE = "Windows 2000 Professional" or @PRODUCTTYPE = "Windows NT Workstation" or @PRODUCTTYPE = "Windows 2000 Server"
or @PRODUCTTYPE = "Windows 2000 Domain Controller" or @PRODUCTTYPE = "Windows XP Professional" or @PRODUCTTYPE = "Windows NT Domain Controller"
COPY @LDRIVE + "\market*.lnk" "C:\documents and settings\" + @USERID + "\desktop"
ENDIF

COPY @LDRIVE + "\*.tpx" "C:\progra~1\century\tinyterm"
COPY @LDRIVE + "\keyboard.dat" "C:\progra~1\century\tinyterm"

COPY @LDRIVE + "\*.ico "C:\idktemp"

In your line COPY @ldrive + "\*.ico "C:\idktemp" you are missing a
double quotation. The correct line can be:
COPY @ldrive+"\*.ico" "c:\idktemp"

You can verify your code with our tool kix400strip.exe which you
can find on our site http://home.wanadoo.nl/scripting .
After running:
kix400strip input.kix output.kix /block_check /show_structure
the output of your code "output.kix" will be:
