Running DOS bat-files - Paradox 9

[Gunnar Petersson]

Hi,

I want to run a simple DOS-bat file from a form button. No passing of data
in either direction. I haven't been able to find how to do it, probably been
searching in the wrong place. Can anyone bring any light into this?

Thanks,

Gunnar

Gunnar,

execute("c:\\temp\\mybatch.bat", Yes, ExeShowNormal)

note - if you don't use ExeShowNormal, be sure all the machines
using this have a .PIF for that batch file which closes the DOS
window upon completion, otherwise, they'll have an invisible DOS
box hanging out in the background (to see it, use ctrl+alt+delete
and look for something like WinOldApp).

Regards,

Liz
