Note: If anyone thinks that I would be better served with CFX_ShellExec,
please provide a simple syntax usage example so I can try. I can't find one
on the Web.

Problem: I have been trying to get help on the Macromedia forums to no
avail. My company has a project where we need to interface with the clients
Cold Fusion application. We use an accounting system based on the ProvideX
language. My client has a Cold Fusion front end and MS Access back end. We
are trying to use CFEXECUTE in order to run our ProvideX script program like
we have done in the past with VBA and .Net.

We Downloaded the trial standard version of cold Fusion last week and can
get all forms and DB connections to run fine, but when we try the CFEXECUTE,
we see the process running in the Windows Task Manager (PVXWin32.exe), but
it does not seem to be passing the parameters to launch our program.

Here is our syntax:
<CFEXECUTE name="C:\mas\371 mas\mas90\home\pvxwin32.exe ../launcher/sota.ini
../soa/mas90"
arguments="../ar/arw_cf W O direct" outputFile="" timeout="0">

</CFEXECUTE>

Also, for this demo, we have everything loaded on one Windows machine (DB,
CF Server and CFM page). If I tried just a simple WordPad.exe and put
"C:\Mydoc.txt" in the argument, shouldn't it launch that app and document to
my screen?

Help appreciated - Thanks.
