Hi,

[Quoted] I have some problems to start Word-97 from under a button in Forms5, running under Win98. The Word-filename is dynamically built from a few columns in the database. I tried a HOST(filename), and also a HOST('winword '||filename) command from within a when-button-pressed trigger, with and without a NO_SCREEN.
If I give the same command ('<filename>.doc') in a Win98 'Start' window or a DOS-box, it works fine.
What am I doing wrong ?

Thanks in advance
