What i am trying to do is to open automatically some files each specific time. I am opening such files with Shellexecute instruction as is showed next:
var vpchar : arrar [0..800] of char; begin StrPcopy(vpchar, table1filename.value); Shellexecute(application.handle, 'open', vpchar, nil, nil, SW_NORMAL) ..... ..... end; When a file is opened, after certain time it should be closed and then another file should be opened.
