 gpg --batch --yes --default-recipient client6 --output "E:\DA2_340B\Walgreens\%~i.pgp" --encrypt "E:\DA2_340B\Walgreens\%~i"

The error I get

gpg: unknown default recipient "client6"
gpg: E:\DA2_340B\Walgreens\1705_flatver4_delta_20250224061000.dat: encryption failed: No public key

Hi @gerand,
try to check what public key this call of gpg has access to, e.g. with:

gpg --list-keys client6
gpg --list-keys

When calling gpg from a batch process, it probably has a different GNUPGHOME directory. This FAQ entry may be related: https://wiki.gnupg.org/TroubleShooting#Windows_.3E_8_and_Server_2012_Task_Scheduler_Problems

Regards,
Bernhard

I just did a search on my c and E drive for GNUPGHOME and do not find it.
I also did
gpg --list-keys client6
Get - gpg: error reading key: No public key

gpg --list-keys
And get nothing

Do u think if from Kleopatra I delete my client6 cerificates and import it again it would correct and make keys.

No.

If gpg --list-key does not list any, it is possible that you are using two versions of gpg with different GNUHOMEs. GNUHOME is just a name of an environment variable you can set to override other ways to set the home directory of gpg.

Try gpg --version and see which Home: it displays. However kleopatra should use the same.

I just try gpg --version and got the following
C:>gpg --version

Read the FAQ entry Bernhard linked to.
Seems to me you need to use the --homedir option.
