The syntax I am using is this. system('cmd/c start notepad my.txt', $results); or exec('start notepad my.txt', $results);

You shouldn't be using exe() or system() for this, use fopen() to open a file from within PHP for editing.

Thanks for the reply. The fopen() works fine, now if I were to apply the exec, or system function to start or run a pgrogram ie: (Mercury mail) exec('start mercury.exe', $results); I am still facing the same issue...what what would be the solution to this? Regards, Mark
