| You can't do it with xp_cmdshell, so you'll need to handle this in your application.Tara KizerMicrosoft MVP for Windows Server System - SQL Serverhttp://weblogs.sqlteam.com/tarad/ |

I know that I can't do it by xp_cmdshell.I am asking: what can I do to run via T-SQL externall application with graphics user interface?I've tried to run an exe application without GUI which fires up another application (asynchronously) with GUI but still it didnt help :| |

| You can't do it via T-SQL as the process won't run in the same user session.Tara KizerMicrosoft MVP for Windows Server System - SQL Serverhttp://weblogs.sqlteam.com/tarad/ |
