Thanks to all who responded. As Brian pointed out, this is a tech support issue and I'll contact them.

To answer Volker's question, I don't get an error of any kind, so I can't provide much information.

I also admit that I've not had much luck running sqpe under windows, undoubtedly through my own ignorance. Rather than enlighten myself, I've used the S-Plus batch "wizard" to 'fire up' my batch runs. The wizard sets everything up for me, but clearly lacks the ability to run two batch jobs simultaneously because of the way it starts S-Plus. It is not only time to contact tech support, it is clearly time for personal enlightenment.

What is the error you get? Is it possible that you only have a single
license for Splus and cannot run two concurrent sessions? I'm doing the same
thing on a dual processor Linux machine with 5 licenses and it works fine.
