>>Hi All, is it feasible to think I can execute a console app from a Winform and have the app raise events in my form ( purely for a progress report) ?. The reason I ask is. I have a command line exe which I would like to use as a standalone engine ( it basically scans a location on a server for documents and logs them in a database ) but also use it from a gui. It's difficult to put into words but I suppose what I'm saying is can my console app be used from both the command line and from a form.

Cheers Viv, why do I always over complicate things :-( ?
