Shelling Hyperterminal question....

Hello all!

I am currently writing an application in which I need to start up microsoft's Hyperterminal just before my project ends.

My problem lies in utilizing a
Code:
.ht
file. I want the user to only have to hit the dial button that the
Code:
.ht
provides when saved and not have to reenter the phone number each time. I keep getting a file not found when I use the
Code:
.ht
file. Might anyone know if the
Code:
.ht
file sends swithes to the
Code:
.exe
file that I might be able to pass myself? Have looked all over Microsoft's website, but I am sure you all know just how helpful that can be at times.

Thank you all for your thoughts and ideas,

Mavors

Are you using ShellExecute or just Shell? [sig]<p>Mike<br><a href=mailto:michael.j.lacey@ntlworld.com>michael.j.lacey@ntlworld.com</a><br><a href= Cargill's Corporate Web Site</a><br>Making mistakes, so you don't have to. &lt;grin&gt;[/sig]
 
MikeLacey,

Thanx for the responce, but I figured it out.

I was just using the Shell command, but I was only shelling to the executable or the .ht files. I updated the shell to not only have the path of the executable, but also the path to the .ht within the same shell. After doing this it would finally pull up the saved connection.

Thanx,
