Gary,

On my website under Q&A, General is an article about using the ShellExecute() API call.

With RUN and arguments you have to use macros to get them to work right, the ShellExecute() is much easier to get working.

>PrgStr = + " " +
>RUN /N PrgStr

>This does not work as the RUN command will not accept a string variable to run with and with that you can't change the parameters that need to be passed. I have already tried DDE and its not a compatible program.
