Re: run windows program

Hmmm . . .
We did not implement Genero because of the copy/paste deficiency, yet
we use shellexec in a LOT of BDL programs: 
(variable fglserver contains IP of workstation) 
 
let scratch = "rsh ", fglserver clipped, " shellexec C:/filename.xls"
run scratch
 
This works like a charm on XP.
(BDL 3.53, WTK 3.54.1a)

Hi Brian,ShellExec is only in genero,not BDL.
For letting WinExecWait working properly within BDL,the whole
commandline must be sent properly
LET    win_cmnd = "outlook.exe c:\\\\test.eml" (assuming outlook in the
path)
The crash bug has been fixed meanwhile (error in formatting the error
message:-()

Kind Regards, Leo

Shellexec may do it.

Hello list.

Does anyone know how to start a windows program from 4js depending on
the
windows file extension.

Like :

LET    win_cmnd = "c:\\\\test.eml"
CALL  WinExecWait(win_cmd) returning ...


I would like it to start Outlook with the file test.eml but instead
4js
crashes.

Many thanks
