You have to use the Desqview API for this. I have a small program that does what you need, I could send the .exe. It will call any application and start it in a window, providing it has a PIF file. >Also, is there any way to open 1-2-3 in a small DESQview window other >than loading 1-2-3 with the special DESQview loader? I need to run 1-2-3 >as a part of the looping batch job I think the reason that you need a loader is becuase 123 is not well behaved and does screen writes that DV cannot handle. A loader basically patches the offending program to make it behave. -- _______________________________________________________________________________ Rodrigo Murillo, University of Colorado - Boulder (303) 761-0410 murillo@boulder.colorado.edu | ..{ncar|nbires}!boulder!murillo ( Machines have less problems.
