Hello, I have written some code in Borland Builder C++ that has several buttons that when pressed opens that correct Dos program. I used CreateProcess() to open the Dos program but have found out " took me 3 Weeks " that this doesn't work 100%. My C++ program opens the Dos program fine and looks like it's working, but for some reason the com ports don't work with the Dos program. I now have found out that Windows API has problems with spawning Dos programs. I don't fully understand this but it does something with Handles that isn't correct. So I'm hoping that I can use some type of ASM code that won't give me all the headaches to date. What I would like help on is some code that will open a Dos program from my C++ button and not have Windows affect the Dos program so the Com ports could work as is. Thank for any suggestion or help on this. Clinton
