I do this withthe call "stat =SYSTEM("program2.exe"), but any time program2 is executed a console window appears. I do not need this window because program2 only reads a file, performs something and writes to another file. In my case program2 was built as a console application.</DIV> <DIV>How can I get rid of the console windows? What project type is needed for program2 to have no windows on the screen?</DIV> <DIV>I already tried to make a subroutine of progam2, but that did not work correct, because in a loop the initial status of the variables is not reset. So I really need to run it as a program executable.</DIV> <DIV></DIV> <DIV>Guus</DIV> Tue, 02 Dec 2003 22:08:05 GMT https://community.intel.com/t5/Intel-Fortran-Compiler/Executing-a-program-without-a-window/m-p/845630#M63599 nijhuis 2003-12-02T22:08:05Z https://community.intel.com/t5/Intel-Fortran-Compiler/Executing-a-program-without-a-window/m-p/845631#M63600 <DIV>Don't use SYSTEM - it creates the console window.
