    This question has been asked a number of times already, have you searched the forums? A quick google search for "C# run another program" reveals the info you need.

          Would it have hurt you to have given an informative reply. For sure he could have googled it... you obviously did to know for sure that it was there... Could you not have at least put a link to the first result?

              He did give him the information he needed. He told the man who to find the information on his own. Judah didn't ahve to Google this to find out if there was any info on it out there. It's a question that's been asked and answered a couple of million times already! Like Judah said, answering a simple question directly only serves to answer that single question. Teaching him how to find his own answers answers many, many more questions than just the one.

                Look at the System.Diagnostics.Process class, it might be just what you're looking for. Dave

                        Darn the luck. I was going to post a similar reply but then I thought maybe I shouldn't. You must be a sick individual, and yes it takes one to know one. BDF

                            I've been justly acused of many things in my life. Normalcy has never been one of them.
