What about:

Dim pi As New ProcessStartInf o("D:\MyDialer. exe", "123 456
1234")
Process.Start(p i)

Thanks,

Are you sure the parameters are correct?

Also, can you type D:\MyDialer.exe 123 456 1234 into the command
prompt and have it work properly?

Try this and see if it works:

Dim pi As New ProcessStartInf o("ping.exe", "-a www.google.com" )
Process.Start(p i)

Thanks,

Seth,

I'm sorry - after I received Cor's direction, I could not figure why
your suggestion did not work and I found the problem - a typo when I
went to implment. Your suggestion worked fine.

Thanks Cor,

By reviewing your site suggestions I found a previous mistake. After
checking your site out I realize I should often start my searches
there rather than impose on the group.

As well as Cor and Ken's site you should also search the archives of
this newsgroup at http://groups.google.com/group/micro...s?lnk=sg&hl=en
