;)Hi. I am shelling to a C++ program from QB, and would like to return variables back to the QB program. I could have the C++ program write the info to a file, but it would be nicer if variables could be passed back. Is there a Windows API that would work with QB?

Thanks.....

hmz....good question...
can't you make a DLL in C++ and set in the SHELL
something like this:
SHELL "yourcppprog.dll?this=that"
like the perl and the PHP way....

or use the windows clipboard  ;D
