How to call a batch file that is one level up from the current batch file directory?

Question

I'm using a batch file in `folder1\folder2\file.bat`. There is a batch file in parent folder `folder1` that I want to open through `file.bat`. I have tried using: ``` start ..\..\code.bat ``` But this results in an error message because the file couldn't be found. Any ideas?

Accepted Answer

You could just:

```
cd..
start Code.bat
```

And that would start code.bat from its own directory
