This is interesting. Shellexecute works fine instead of createprocess except that shellexecute does not pause program execution until TransMan.exe exits which is what I need to happen. Any ideas on how to pause program execution?

DECLARE INTEGER ShellExecute IN "Shell32.dll" ;
	INTEGER hwnd, ;
	STRING lpVerb, ;
	STRING lpFile, ;
	STRING lpParameters, ;
	STRING lpDirectory, ;
	LONG nShowCmd

Exepath="c:\Program Files\IVANS\TransMan\Transman.exe"
=Shellexecute(0,"Open",Exepath," /A /M:TECHSUPPORT;SYSERROR;TMCONFIG;AIDOWN","c:\Program Files\IVANS\TransMan",0)
RETURN

Some others dislike being started from paths containing blanks unless the executable name is quoted in a certain way, because their command line parsing code is broken. Such a program would think that it resides in a folder called "c:\program" or that "program" is its own name and the path is "c:\", when it is actually located in "c:\program files\what\ever".

Windows will do path searching for program names in the second parameter but not in the first, and it will probably supply the full path to the program even if you pass an unqualified name in the second parameter.
