Thanks Claude!
I just went to that site and the example works great on my machine (after modifying the location of mspaint.exe since I am running W2k). I will test the speed/memory usage using both createprocess and shellexecute to see which is faster with less overhead. That site is great!
Thanks again!
Tracy
