What I am trying to do is open/use an app that is a DOS prog in a running RB application. I have tried to use the Shell class but perhaps being that I am using RB5.5.5 I have no luck. I just keep getting a -2 error code. Nothing I do works. Any simple directions that any of you more experienced programmers could offer? Thanks. My OS is Windows XP.
