Thanks for your relpy
No i havn't yet
this is the code i used

DECLARE
AppID pls_integer;
BEGIN
AppID :=DDE.App_Begin ('file path\file name.exe',DDE.APP_MODE_normal);
END;

i can open any .exe file from this code except one file which is the one i need
note: to open that file without using oracle there must be another file in the same folder

thanks

Is there a 'space' in either the file's name or the directory in which it resides?

try:

win_api_shell.startfile('C:\news.htm',null,null);

host('C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE');

If these don't help I suggest searching this forum for 'DDE.App_Begin' and look what everyone lese has been using.

I think someone used "host(begin command; end);" to get something to work. It was the 'begin' and 'end' which was important.
