I found a solution to the problem. The following command works fine from my Clipper 5.01 application:
RUN cmd.exe /c "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\WINWORD.EXE" iltopenb.doc /mILOPEN
instead of:
RUN start "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\WINWORD.EXE"...
I checked the path and that is not a problem. I can put the commands in a separate batch file that works fine if started from a commmand line. Non-windows programs start and work from inside a Clipper application running under Windows 2000.
We recently upgraded to Windows 2000 and my programs will no longer start Word 97 from inside of a Clipper application.
Currently, the line in the program is:
RUN start "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\WINWORD.EXE" iltopenb.doc /mILOPEN
Thanks for your assistance
