hi, i have just made a window that creates an htm file (this file is coded using ajax).
to create it, i use the FileOpen/FileWrite/FileClose commands in a button, named "Start".
Then, when it's ready, i'd wish it to open automatically, but this doesn't happen.
I'm using the Run command, but is useless. But (and this is the strange thing) if i double-click on the file (so i open it normally) it works great!
I've even tried to create a batch file and execute it, but the Run command seems not to work... (but i can open the notepad using it..) o_O

so, where is the error?
 
Try shellexecutea as a 'run' alternative.

Try this

Code:
string	ls_run, ls_my_htm_file

ls_my_htm_file = "c:\my_folder\my_file.htm"

ls_run = "explorer.exe " + ls_my_htm_file
// do not forget to insert at least 1 space between explorer.exe and the file_path !!
Run( ls_run)
