Help! I am trying to call a DOS executable application (a *.bat file) from a button in Oracle Designer 4.5. When I execute the *.bat file directly from Explorer and from MS DOS, it works fine. When I call the *.bat file from within Forms, DOS comes up, then goes away and it doesn't execute anything. I'm calling the file within the button using the host command. It seems as though the host command calls it differently.
