System Command

[SmittyUSN1]

Thank you Ken Brody and Jay Ashworth,  the "Start" command was the missing 
key.   It works!@!!!  I had failed to mention that this is in fp 5.0 in a 
Windows 7 environment.    filePro is still the GREATEST!

Error 2 == "file not found".

You can't execute a PDF.  If you want to open the file, use the "start"
command, as in "start c:\temp\filename.pdf".
