Does anyone know which WM_MESSAGE processor could be used to spawn
another application from within an existing application?

For example, I've written an application that uses the help
utility to provide a number of project management documents. I
also need to display a spreadsheet, and would like to be able
to start EXCEL from a menu item. 

Anyone know how to do this?

Please reply to Talon@dayton.saic.com if you can to avoid cloggin the 
newsgroup.

Thanks,
