Does anyone know how to execute an external program in Delphi 4 Standard? I
looked for a solution in the help and online documentation and have found
none. If you have any idea, please e-mail me.

  You need to use ShellExecute or CreateProcess...  ---  DO NOT use WinExec
if someone suggests it (it's dead in Win2000 and up...)

  If you need examples of ShellExecute (which is incredibly easy) or
CreateProcess (which isn't):  E-mail me, and I'll give a sample....

Marcin,

Try  the FileExecute(<filename> : string) - function.
Perhaps you need to add the unit FMXUtils in your uses clause.
Otherwise ShellExecute wil do it (see the help-file).

Hope it helps you,
Alfred.
