As far as I know you cannot launch a program directly. The extension of the file is connected to the program and will launch the program.
If you like to avoid this maybe the usage of a bat file is a solution.

I need to launch an external program with parameters. Here is my code: set var vLaunch = 'HTTPGET.exe' set var vParameters = '-0 "Test.dat" -r -S "*SRA" 192.168.0.83:1000' set var vLaunch = (.vLaunch & '|' & .vParameters & '|W') Launch .vLaunch It does not work. Are the double quotes allowed in the parameters? Any other thoughts? Thanks again, -Bob
