Hi Hilmar,

My problem is where do I put this command 'run /n start c:\docs\PostList.txt
' because the submenu is picking up the name from the label field and If I add this command to the prg I am using to bring up the submenu then system crashes.


This is my prg :

use AsbDoc AGAIN in 0 share
SELECT AsbDoc
go top

DO WHILE !EOF()
recno=recno()
replace AsbDoc.ad_command with 'do txt with '+ alltrim(str(recno))
SKIP
ENDDO

select AsbDoc
set near on
set order to menu

DEFINE BAR 1 OF asbosre PROMPT "\DEFINE BAR 2 OF asbosre PROMPT "\DEFINE BAR 3 OF asbosre PROMPT "\
ON BAR 2 OF asbosre activate popup keydoc
ON BAR 3 OF asbosre ACTIVATE POPUP oth

DEFINE POPUP keydoc && First one equal to 'D'
seek('D')
i=1
do while(AsbDoc.ad_menu='D')
DEFINE BAR i of keydoc PROMPT (Allt(AsbDoc.ad_label))
comm = alltrim(AsbDoc.ad_command)
ON SELECTION BAR i of keydoc &comm
i=i+1
skip
enddo

DEFINE POPUP oth
seek('O')
i=1
do while(AsbDoc.ad_menu='O')
DEFINE BAR i of oth PROMPT AsbDoc.ad_label
comm=alltrim(AsbDoc.ad_command)
ON SELECTION BAR i of oth &comm
i=i+1
skip
enddo

select AsbDoc
use


Basically this code checks for the labels the user has given to the text files and shows them in the sub menu. There could a number of these appearing in the submenu that match the above criteria.

Where and how can I run the worpad.exe when the user select one label from the submenu?

Thanks in advance
