If you want to call an .exe file form a Forms application, you can try to use : HOST(system_command_string VARCHAR2);
or , better :

Win_API_Shell.Winexec(Command IN	VARCHAR2,
 WindowStyle 	IN	PLS_INTEGER DEFAULT WIN_API.SW_SHOWNORMAL,
 RaiseExceptions	IN	BOOLEAN DEFAULT FALSE);

(you must attach the d2kwutil.pll library from ...\ORANT\TOOLS\DEVDEM60\DEMO\FORMS\)

If you want to use external procedures , you need to create a .dll .
