OK, a slightly more intelligent idea in place of my previous one. You can use win32api.ShellExecute (from the pywin32 extensions) which is like a beefed-up os.startfile. In particular, it allows you to pass parameters to the command. So... <code> import win32api win32api.ShellExecute ( 0, # hwnd "open", # action; could be "print" etc. "winword.exe", # application "c:/temp/temp.txt", #params ".", # working directory 1 # show/don't show ) </code> TJG ________________________________________________________________________ This e-mail has been scanned for all viruses by Star.
