You can also use the env files an entry to run from the menu pick or pick from the right click dropdown. This is how I start remote desktop from my environment with a simple right click of the mouse(on an empty display area) and access the main server without ever starting up explorer or having the taskbar available. This line is in /opt/fox/env/disp.mnu COMMAND -label "RemoteDesktop" -cmd "run $windir\system32\mstsc.exe" Ronald G.

If the Operator needs to start it; use a graphic to start the program. If the engineer starts it, let him use the explorer to start it. Is there some other constraint on running your program? -- No attachments (even text) are allowed -- -- Type: text/x-vcard -- File: rschafer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx -- Desc: rschafer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx _______________________________________________________________________ This mailing list is neither sponsored nor endorsed by Invensys Process Systems (formerly The Foxboro Company).
