hi,
i am using app.start function for opening the notepad. this command is working fine for the windows xp but the same command is not working for windows nt . can anybdoy help
this is very urgent
thanx in advanc

Are you using the same BW -version on both computers.

There are differences in the behavior of the app_start function with different BW Versions.

BW- version is same in both machine. While going thru the doucment i found that app.start can be used with the client side os system like windows xp, window 98 . in these machine there is no problem for opening the notepad but the same command is not working for window server 2000. pl do write if any idea about the same

thanx

it is working fine . What i did inplace of "notepad" i am writing the file name directly

This works with all kind of files (.doc, .xls, .pdf,...) Windows start the program currently registered for the file extension. So you don' have to worry about the Prorgram name and path.
