Best way to launch other applications

[Jerry Daniels]

Ritch,

See the "Running a batch file in DOS" for tips in using the shell to
launch. I'm certainly not an expert, but then info in that thread might
be helpful.

But, as far as I know, "launch doc with app" and "open process app doc"
are the only two ways known to me.

Happy hunting,

Jerry Daniels

What is the best way to launch other applications on a Windows platform?
I have used "launch filename with appname" with limited success.

The problems with it are:

- Only 1 document can be opened at a time per application.  In order to
open a 2nd document, you must quit the entire application and relaunch
it.

- I can't launch Excel files this way after building a distribution.
They launch within the Revolution IDE but not after a distribution is
built.

Thanks in advance,

Ritch Houdek
