>Observation:
>1. The screen that I normally used to see, which is the AWRemote DOS screen where in it displays messages such as, Last Modem Response, Dialing etc., did not show up when I ran your code. Eventually, all I saw on the calling form was the display .NULL., which I think is in response to your "? oRun.CheckProcessExitCode()". In all, there was no DOS screen that showed up. Is this expected or does it suggest a problem. Normally, once the connection is made with the agency's computers, they then initiate a call back and pick up the files form the AW directory and then resurn a Valid report.

This suggests (as does the further noted error message) that AWRemote did not run. If AWREMOTE is not an .EXE, but a .COM or .BAT, for example, you need to inlude the file extension in the command line.

This is what actually failed - the awremote was not started.

Yes.
