What is "the right way" to get the >return code from Execute? You ARE getting the return code from Execute. What you WANT is the return code from the program you executed. The -1 is saying 'yep, I launched the process for you successfully.' (-1 being DOS_TRUE, 0xffffffff). Anybody know how to get the return code of the program you Execute()ed? ***** =*|_o_o|\\=====Doug Walker, Software Distiller======================= *|. o.| || | o |// "I try to make everyone's day a little more surreal." ====== - Calvin usenet: ...mcnc!rti!sas!walker plink: dwalker bix: djwalker
