Hey Ciaran, SIUtils.LaunchProcess works a treat. Thanks for the tip. ________________________________

Failing that - I guess I'll have to find another solution.

I might be missing something, what do you mean "within logic"? Inside a PPG's logic? You have it in a button callback or where? Subprocess can be finnicky if run inside something that does its own black magic garbage collection, like most UI elements do. There are tricks like using "while 1" and trying excepting something inside to exit which will stall the caller enough for subprocess to finish doing its thing, but it might or might not work out for you, or even be viable.

As it is currently written it works outside of logic but not within it. g
