Hi
I am trying to run a DOS program that MUST be run from my local drive , I.E "C:\".
This program gets an ASCII file, that was created by the run time. The problems are :
How can I get the DOS program to run, without using the "Host();" function, It doesn't work. That's to say:

If I am running the DOS program by itself, it runs well. But when I run it by "Host()" it doesn't seem to be able to read the file that was created and copied to her folder. Even though it CAN read the file and run well, while running alone, not form within the forms.

How can I get this program to act like it would under the "Host();" function, I.E:
cover over the forms runtime, and after finishing, showing the runtime again.

Thanks. Received on Tue Nov 02 1999 - 08:00:33 CST
