When I do RESTORE FILELISTONLY FROM DISK = 'db.bak' I don't want to specify the path to the .bak file. Is there any way to do this? Something like '%CD%\db.bak'?! If I for example want to put MSDE, .bak and a script file (cmd) on a CD-r I want to install (and restore) the database from the current directory.

Regards

When you run a SQL RESTORE command, the command is executed in the context of the database service, not the user executing the OSQL command.

You will have to specify ths path of the backup file so that the database engine can find the file.

Thank you for the answer. I worked around the problem by copy the .bak file in the cmd script first thing before starting the osql script. Then I got the current directory and then I know exactly were the file is :-)
