Problem with ShellExecute 2

[lespaul]

I'm trying to create a small console app that runs a batch file and sends a resulting text file via email. At this point, I'm trying to get the ShellExecute command to run and I always get
[tt]Error: Undeclared identifier: 'Handle'[/tt]

Here's the entire code:

[navy][i]// for automatic syntax highlighting see faq102-6487 
[/i][/navy][b]program[/b] MVD_FTP;

[navy][i]{$APPTYPE CONSOLE}[/i][/navy]

[b]uses[/b]
  Windows, SysUtils, ShellAPI;

[b]begin[/b]
  ShellExecute(Handle, [teal]'open'[/teal], PChar([teal]'\\fileandprint\groups\InfoTech\FTP2DMV\Startdmv.bat'[/teal]), [b]nil[/b], [b]nil[/b], SW_SHOW);
[b]end[/b].

What do I need to add so that Handle is not an undeclared identifier? I've never had an issue with this before, but I've never done a console app either.

Any ideas/suggestions?

Thanks!
Leslie

easy :

Handle is in fact TForm.Handle.

since you are in a console application, you have no form and hence no handle. just replace Handle with 0 and all should be fine.
