I was doing something similar. I wanted to open an Excel spreadsheep from with-in my app, by using the associations within Win95. See if:<br />
<br />
ShellExecute<br />
<br />
is what you want. For me, what works is: (actual line from code)<br />
<br />
ShellExecute(NULL, NULL, m_spreadsheet_display_name<wbr />, NULL, NULL, SW_MAXIMIZE);<br />
<br />

Does the application have to include a direct path??<br />
Or does the file or application have to be in the Windows directory--- since this is the only way I can get it to work<br />

I am trying to spawn another application from within my program. &nbsp;I am currently using MFC framework to program. &nbsp;I know that I should use Create Process or WinExec, but I am unsure of the syntax. &nbsp;I have tried several times, but am unsuccessful. &nbsp;Does anyone know the proper syntax...<br />
suppose the program is anything.exe<br />

WinExedc or Create Process

Kernel and system programming is the process of creating the software necessary for a computer or device to function and operate other programs. Some operating systems (such as Microsoft Windows) are proprietary, but others, such as the various Linux distributions, are open source.
