hmmm....
If I type at the R> Launch WordPad.exe Word pad does indeed startup. I am using the Launch command with executables on 3 or 4 other applications that use parameters and they all work fine. I just have not got this one to work yet and I was assuming it might be the double quotes or possibly the asterisk. These are all required however. BUT having said that.... maybe I should not be using Launch with exe's? I see that help talks about file extensions, but it has always worked fine for me in the past. Anyone else care to weigh in? Thanks again and I appreciate the input. -Bob ----- Original Message ----- From: "A.G.

The extension of the file is connected to the program and will launch the program. If you like to avoid this maybe the usage of a bat file is a solution.

I need to launch an external program with parameters. Here is my code: set var vLaunch = 'HTTPGET.exe' set var vParameters = '-0 "Test.dat" -r -S "*SRA" 192.168.0.83:1000' set var vLaunch = (.vLaunch & '|' & .vParameters & '|W') Launch .vLaunch It does not work. Are the double quotes allowed in the parameters? Any other thoughts? Thanks again, -Bob
