Our Lotus Notes R5 users are running Notes client under wine in SuSe Linux. I would like to trigger a Linux process from the Lotus Notes button using : If Dir$(batchFile) <> "" Then taskId% = Shell(batchFile) Else Print batchFile & " not found. Please notify support personnel." End If where batch file is a simple notepad call : wine notepad.exe When I run it - I get "Illegal function call" It finds the file, but Shell is not working ... Any idea why ? Thanks.
