I am having a C++ Builder 6 program that calls diffent exe's from the main form. If i call these exe's on any button press, I get a OS Access Violation.
I am using the following line to call the exe.
spawnl(P_NOWAIT,"Sample.exe",NULL);

I DO NOT want to use system command since it opens up a command window.

Strangely the spawnl command works when i use menu items on the same form and call them on menu press and DOES NOT WORK when  using any events on the form.

Please Help
