.cmd file help
I need to create a .cmd file that executes two items...
First a .bat file and second a .exe file
The .bat file must complete successfully (return code zero) for the .exe to start.
I have close to no experience creating .cmd files or batch files. If anyone could help me out or point me in the right direction for a tutorial how to do this, that would be great. Thanks in advance. Sorry if this is the wrong forum, wasn't sure where to put it.

Right, but if the .bat command returns an error then I don't want to run the .exe
Here is what I have come up with... If you see something wrong with it let me know as I haven't ever created a .cmd file before.
REM *************** Execute PrepareTables_SnDataPersistor ***********************
Set ReturnCode=0
CALL dsp_Dist_PrepareTables.bat
Set ReturnCode=%ErrorLevel%
If %ReturnCode% == 0 GoTo SnDataPersistor
Set ReturnCode=99
Goto End
:SnDataPersistor
START SlnDataToCMGPersistor.exe
If %ReturnCode% == 0 GoTo End
Set ReturnCode=99
Goto End
:End
Exit

I can't get this to work right...
I have modified my file to log what is happening.
Here is what I have
REM *************** SalesNEtDRPersistor.cmd ***********************
Set ReturnCode=0
REM ********* change the following Drive= to reference a log file from where the logfile should be written
Set Drive=d:\apps\SalesNet\SalesnetToCMG\CMGPersistor\Log\
Set Logfile=%Drive%SalesNetDRPersistor.log
echo *************** SalesNetDRPersistor.cmd *********************** > %logfile%
echo **** Starting Date Time: ******** >> %logfile%
echo %Date% %Time% >> %logfile%
echo ********************************* >> %logfile%
CALL D:\apps\SalesNet\SalesnetToCMG\CMGPersistor\dsp_Dist_PrepareTables.bat
echo *************** .bat ErrorLevel *********************** > %logfile%
Set ErrorLevel=%ReturnCode%
echo %ErrorLevel%
If %ReturnCode%==0 Goto SnDP
Set ReturnCode=99
Goto End
:SnDP
echo *************** Starting SlnDataToCMGPersistor.exe *********************** > %logfile%
echo **** Starting Date Time: ******** >> %logfile%
echo %Date% %Time% >> %logfile%
echo ********************************* >> %logfile%
CALL D:\apps\SalesNet\SalesnetToCMG\CMGPersistor\SlnDataToCMGPersistor.exe
If %ReturnCode%==0 Goto End
echo *************** ERROR *********************** > %logfile%
echo **** Ending Date Time: ******** >> %logfile%
echo %Date% %Time% >> %logfile%
echo ********************************* >> %logfile%
Set ReturnCode=99
Goto End
:End
echo *************** FinishTime *********************** > %logfile%
echo **** Ending Date Time: ******** >> %logfile%
echo %Date% %Time% >> %logfile%
echo ********************************* >> %logfile%
Exit
After it calls D:\apps\SalesNet\SalesnetToCMG\CMGPersistor\dsp_Dist_PrepareTables.bat, it stops. The log from dsp_Dits...bat shows that it is executing and has a ReturnCode of 0
Any ideas why it stops after that?
