  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
