The Mac OS API's _launch call has been riddled with issues since Mac OS 7, or maybe earlier. This gets funkier in OS X since a .app is not a file, but really a folder. Best to use AppleScript and let the Finder sort it out: tell program "Finder" to open "drive:folder:application.app" -- Richard Gaskin Fourth World Media Corporation Developer of WebMerge: Publish any database on any Web site ___________________________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.FourthWorld.com Tel: 323-225-3717 AIM: FourthWorldInc _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
