>I have a customer who wants to call a scanning program automatically. Should be no problem so I've put the location of the exe file into a memo filed and call it with the Run command, nothing happens. If I call other programs on a mapped drive they start fine, if I call other programs in the c:\test1 folder they start fine. The program location I am trying to call is
>c:\program files\hp\hp laserjet mfp 400abc\bin\scan.exe
>When I click on my button to run this exe the dos box pops up very briefly and disappears but the scan.exe program does not start. From a security point of view I have added everyone with full control to the hp laser... folder and also ensures that those right are similar in the bin folder. I have opened a dos box and typed in the location and file as one command and it started so I'm baffled on this one.

Spaces in the path... did you include quotation marks around the filename?
