In other words,i need the syntax in Delphi for a function that calls an external program(executable) and a second function to give my program a short delay in execution.tanx :banana:

bgeraghty

Go to msdn.microsoft.com and search these terms [and read what comes up for each]:

for calling an external program...
ShellExecute()
WinExec()
CreateProcess()

and for the delay...
Sleep()

Side Note: for the delay you could also use a TTimer Component in delphi.
