Re: Forms 4.5 -- WINEXEC, in the D2KWUTIL library, Help

Try something like this:

  s_Cmd VARCHAR2(2000);
  ...
  s_Cmd := 'C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND.COM';
  BEGIN
    WIN_API_SHELL.WINEXEC(s_Cmd, 0, TRUE);   EXCEPTION
    WHEN OTHERS THEN
      msg_alert('Error: Cannot run '||s_Cmd,'W',null);   END;
  ...

I hope this will help you.
