Yes, I can get this working from the command window too, but the problem I am having is getting it to work from within the EXE. I have run some further test, and it seems I can launch another EXE that is different from the EXE current running. For example inside A.EXE, I can do a WinExec("B.EXE", 1) with no problem, but I cannot do a WinExec("A.EXE", 1).

Thanks again!
