Shellcommand. There are ways to check to see if an instance of a Word or Excel object is already in existence such asGetObject. Hope this helps. :) Nick Parker

Hi, You may use Process.Start (from System.Diagnostics.Process). That provides granular control over the process you are starting. Perhaps the following URL should open MSDN Documentation too: ms-help://MS.NETFrameworkSDK/cpref/html/frlrfsystemdiagnosticsprocessclassstarttopic.htm process.Start("http://www.codeproject.com") where process is an object of Process opens the default browser and navigates to codeproject.com While shell might still execute system commands, you might not be able to control execution of those programs to the level that Process allows you to do so.
