Anyway the recib2k.mdb that i open, doesnt do anything, only stay open. When i run the web page (imprimir.php) it does well. I mean, i only want to create a pdf file and i prepared an Access file which opens, prints a pdf file and closes. Easy. When I run it on the server (cmd.exe) runs well, but when trying to exec it does nothing, only stay waiting. What can i dooo????? ---- Sorry my english ------ Reproduce code: --------------- <? $programa = "\"c:\\inetpub\\wwwroot\\php\\vales de compra\\recib2k.mdb\""; $retorno = exec($programa); ?> The program opens but it doesent do nothing. Expected result: ---------------- Create well the pdf (it does wellfrom the server). Actual result: -------------- A new Internet Explorer window opens and stay waiting for the server but the progress bar never ends! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=30072&edit=1
