My first thought would be ftp (file transfer protocal), It can be incorporated into a application to make it more user friendly. Jack

If your workstation supports it, you can launch the application from the green screen with the following commands. Additional programming can make it more user friendly.

STRPCO PCTA(*NO)

STRPCCMD PCCMD(‘start excel.exe “C:Dcoument pathname” ‘) PAUSE(*NO)

Hi there Billy/

I did like your answer with :
STRPCO PCTA(*NO)

STRPCCMD PCCMD(’start excel.exe “C:Dcoument pathname” ‘) PAUSE(*NO)

Do you know where I can find out more PC commands to use ?

Don’t know of any command listings but all you have to figure out is the application exe to launch it and then provide a path to the corresponding document.
