CFV 6.6C Interface w/ WINEXEC

[dick17901]

I am making the call : Iret = WinExec('NotePad.exe '//efile(1:lenE)//CHAR(0) ,SW_SHOW)

What call must I make to only proceed when the above call is successful?

If you look up the specification for WinExec in CVF Help or in the MSDN library, you will find the answer in the return value: "If the function succeeds, the return value is greater than 31". So I suggest:

if (Iret > 31) then ........................

But you might also like to consider what to do if it fails - see the spec.
