sOutput is always empty as expected. Why you want 'write' it? > I'm forced to use the 'To' clause in Shell/Exec because of its syntax: No, it is not mandatory.

Interpreter waits for output and then continues execution. Jussi ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Try before you buy = See our experts in action!
