1. RE: Help needed to run programs from within EU program
Hi,
Try either:
-------------------------
integer return_code
return_code = system_exec(runfile, 2) -- instead of system(runfile, 2)
-------------------------
or
--------------
runfile = "start " & thisdir & Progdata[Path]
--instead of runfile = thisdir & Progdata[Path]
--------------
system() needs a command (like start, copy, delete, etc.)
system_exec() only runs .exe and .com (and maybe .bat, anybody know for
sure?)

2. RE: Help needed to run programs from within EU program
G'day all,
Thanks I worked out that I could use win32lib's shellExecute() to run
programs.
My Next problem is that if a linked file in the menu is a txt file or
pdf file, how can I run these with the associated program on a users
computer, given I won't know what is on a users compter.
Thanks
Tony
