I want to launch another app, in a separate window - like Excel or something . I can predict a hard coded path to it - like “c:\myapp\app.exe”. Can AS do this?

first write the path “c:\myapp\app.exe” into a .bat file. Then use FSCOMMAND launch the .bat file.

Thanks - that is odd to me that it can run the .bat file via fscommand and not an exe. I’ll give it a shot.
