Subject:      Re: API function equivalent to 'start' DOS command?

Well it s the first time that i can see the createprocess run!!

It works well with an executable but with a file:
c:\image.bmp it doesn't work

and if you want to open an *.xls file the executable can be:
excel.exe or msexcel or something else...

the command 'start' is so easy and so short...
