    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
