>>Is it possible to use ShellExecute() to execute a DOS program AND redirect the DOS program's output to a file. I have not been able to get this to work with ShellExecute() by placing the redirection operator and file name in the Parameters variable. However, I have been able to get this to work with WinExec(), but not ShellExecute().

Thanks George. I have it working with WinExec() plus a PIF file so I'll just stay with that for now.
