If you don't mind waiting for the batch file to complete use this: Zip cmd /c start /min anybatch

I have an R:Base program which builds a batch file to perform some system level processing. I can LAUNCH the batch file, it works great. However, a DOS window flashes on the screen while the batch file operates. There's no output, so there's no need for the window or the flashing. Can anyone think of a clever way to launch a batch file "invisibly"? Failing that, does anyone (paging MikeB, paging MikeB, Mr. B please pick up the white courtesy phone) have the STDCALL worked out to do this directly through ShellExecEx? -- Larry
