I am the original poster of the message. I guess I did not explain myself very well. I am running a form with a menu attached on my client machine (DEV2000/Windows95) (Used to do this with SQl*MENU) and I need to run a command file that is on a VAX machine. Host and Run_product will not work in this case. Someone had posted about DBMS_PIPE, where can I find information about it. Any ideas or suggestions on the best way to do this will be greatly appreciated. Received on Fri Feb 21 1997 - 00:00:00 CET
