Hi all, this is purely a conceptual question as the thought went through my head today. I've got a MDI application that is use to manage a product of ours. It facilitates things like live updates, language independence features etc. On aspect is compiling and uploading our live updates to our web server. Currently i have a button and some code that does a ShellExecEx to launch WinSCP and allow access, via SFTP to out webserver. Works fine and i'm completely happy with it, but just out of interest, is there anyway to launch an external application and then make it appear as if it is embedded either with in a child form or a panel? WinSCP is written in C++Builder so i'm assuming it does not support any automation technologies such as DDE or COM - again, this is just out of interest. Many thanks, Mike C
