Calling and running an external .exe

[tj.dale]

Hi all,

I am not sure whether this is possible, but I am trying to run an external executable program from within an EFS formula.

is it possible?

If so, could someone show me an example. Thanks

TJ:

Yes, it is possible using the EFS DLL functions and Windows SHELL32.DLL. I will try to put an example up in my Specialty Scripts group in the next day or so.
