Hi Guys,
I am seeking another way of running a program aside from this:
get shell("start C:\Windows\Temp\Console.exe")
Any Ideas??
Many Thanks,
Matt.

What I believe you should have asked goes a bit like this:
"How can I launch a Windows program from inwith LiveCode without using a shell command."

Well, you are obviously privy to some information which I am not.

In my windows application I run a batch file by pressing a button.
I use the following code:
Code: Select all
on mouseUp
answer"prompt text"with"closing button text"
launch document "complete Path"
end mouseUp
Maybe it works also with exe files?.
Hope it helps
M.
