<DIV>There is no problem with the QKdriver or the Quick invocation. As I reported, I can call and execute the subroutine as an executable (spawned) image from the Quick screen. i.e as QKDRIVER.PHEXE</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>It's the build and exec of the QKDRIVER.EXE which is not functioning. The following is an illustration of the phenomenon-</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Directory CTS_ROOT:[WORK.PENNYJ]</DIV>
<DIV>QKDRIVER.EXE;12 10 10-SEP-2009 15:53:27.05</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>AND</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Directory CTS_ROOT:[WORK.PENNYJ]</DIV>
<DIV>QKDRIVER.PHEXE;6 19 11-SEP-2009 08:56:21.41</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>a big size difference. And as I said, Quick ignores the do external when I equate the QKDRIVER to the .EXE file.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>So??</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thanks for sharing your ideas!</DIV>
