System object - run application problem.

Hi all

I think my problem relates to the system object execute an external application but slightly indirectly i think.

I am running an exe on an event that all triggers fine however the application gives an error saying that it can't find the files it uses in my applications directory.

Is this because my application is trying to run it from my application's folder or is it that the application i'm trying to run has some way of checking where its being initialised from and tries to open files from there, as maybe some sort of copy protection or something?

Is this familiar to anyone?

I've asked the developers of the app as maybe there is a command i use on the exe or its a bug on their end or something.

Thanks for reading.

That's exactly it thanks DavidN but unfortunately I can't set the working directory unless it's something I can pass to the exe as a command which I guess probably breaks some security thing in Windows if you know what I mean.

Thanks Danny you might just save my bacon!

Sorry I can't right now

Ah ok, ordinarily i would've been free to join but couldn't sorry,

If you want to pm me some things I'd love to give them a try, do you think I can pass a command to the exe maybe? Anyway I'll wait, thanks again for the interest!

Any luck? no rush just had a second to ask

Thought i'd try the File-Folder object but i get the same problem
