As well as the above, I find a little .bat file like this to set some paths and start python or your application is helpful, eg @echo off set DEMOHOME=%CD% set PYTHONHOME=%DEMOHOME%\Python24 set PYTHONPATH=%PYTHONHOME%;%DEMOHOME%\Demo\Python set PYTHON=%PYTHONHOME%\python.exe set PYTHONW=%PYTHONHOME%\pythonw.exe set PATH=%PYTHONHOME%;%PATH% start "Demo" "%PYTHONW%" "demo.pyw" -- Nick Craig-Wood <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- http://www.craig-wood.com/nick -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
