------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thu Feb 8 17:07:16 +0000 2007 ------- I use a network-dbApplication that launches WINWORD.EXE or swriter.exe as applicable, but the Terminal Emulator used is unable to detect that swriter.exe is running. The request and reply is below. Can this be addressed? Please advise. Thanks, Tracey Reply to my request: Hi Tracey - I do not know how swriter.exe starts up. The ESC STX > command uses the ShellExecuteEx API to launch the command. This function returns a handle which AccuTerm monitors to determine when the command terminates. Perhaps swriter.exe is just a launcher for the main program, and once the main program is running, swriter.exe terminates. You might need to contact the OpenOffice developers for more details. Thanks, Peter Initial Request: A question about an ongoing issue with: ESC STX > command CR with ESC STX I or ESC STX S usage. I have a program that transfers data, then launches the word processor that is installed on the User's computer. When using WINWORD.EXE I get a dialog box stating "Waiting for process to terminate..." with a <Cancel> button. When using swriter.exe I do NOT get a dialog box AND control is returned immediately back to AccuTerm. Both ESC STX I and ESC STX S have the same affect of not pausing for termination when launching swriter.exe. Is there a way to make AccuTerm pause for swriter.exe? Please advise. Thanks, Tracey BTW Most Users run AccuTerm 4.0e and I have AccuTerm 5.3b and both have the same issue. example (I do NOT normally run both so this is just a concise example): WP.PGM='C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office10\WINWORD.EXE C:\TEST.TXT' WP.PGM<-1>='C:\Program Files\OpenOffice.org 2.1\program\swriter.exe C:\TEST.TXT' FOR I=1 TO 2 DOS.CMD=WP.PGM<I> PRINT CHAR(27):CHAR(2):'>':DOS.CMD:CHAR(13): PRINT CHAR(27):CHAR(2):'S' INPUT PAUSE.HERE NEXT I STOP --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
