Any suggestion ?help? Best Darius [email]alanglloyd (AT) aol (DOT) com[/email] (AlanGLLoyd) wrote in message news:<20031124080201.07346.00001891 (AT) mb-m26 (DOT) aol.com>...

You _must_ get some returned value, even if it is greater than 31 which means success. If its less than 32 then that is a failure and has meaning.

Back to top feardotcom Guest Posted: Tue Dec 02, 2003 9:50 am    Post subject: Re: WinExec put fmxutils.pas in you LIB folder, declare FMXUTILS under the uses clause, then call EXECUTEFILE('edit.com','','',sw_show); remember to add the path of the executable. might also be your problem with winexec('edit.com', SW_Normal); if it is edit.com that comes with DOS/win9x then the path would be something like this: winexec('c:windowscommandedit.com', SW_Normal); hope that helps.
