use the correct quotes? (you're mixxing " and ')

You should always post "the error" you get when asking for help.

Usually; it's always best to form the run line

lcRun = sys(5)+sys(2003)+"\matnpp\ganj.exe"

! /n &lcRun

Josh,
I agree, but remember that if sys(2003) returns a path with any embedded spaces
even this will fail. Use this instead:

! /n "&lcRun"

True rick -- "in my haste" I left the quotes out.

I actually stopped using the run command long ago in favour of findexecutable()
and shellexecute() api's instead.
