Run cmd.exe command from FileMaker?

Is it possible to run a command prompt (cmd.exe) command from a FileMaker script (rather without the actual promt showing)?

I imagine it would be the easiest thing, I just can't figure out how. I think I should be able to do this with either Open URL or Send DDE Execute. But no success so far...

Any ideas?

PS. I can easily access the prompt by executing a Open URL script with the path to cmd.exe defined... but I would like to actually run a command inside the prompt...

Use SendEvent and choose not to show the application window in the foreground.

Make a search for cmd in the forum, I recieved 120 results.

Good luck

The syntax is: cmd.exe /c {then your prompt command}.

Use the Send Message script step.

"Send Message" for FM6 = "Send Event" for FM7

In FM7 can work without naming extension in syntax.
