Hey Greycat.

That is a great question!  So as you noticed there is no equivalent to System Exec in LabVIEW PDA, so you cannot launch an application that way.  I would think that there would be a DLL that could be called on the PDA that will allow you to launch applications.  However, after several Google searches I was not able to come up with any specific code or DLLs.  Once you found that DLL hoewever, you shouldn't have problems launch an EXE.  I am assuming that these are not other LabVIEW PDA built EXEs, which is a shame since you might be able to open a VI reference to that VI.

Thanks Andy F.  This is not an incredibly important thing for me to find out right now so I will probalby not do any more research into this for the time being ... if I do find anything out though, I will post to this thread.  Thanks again.  Since I have your attention, off the top of your head, do you know of any way  to edit the WM 5.0 registry with labview PDA?
