Executing exe delphi program with Agent

Hi,
I'm trying to execute a program from de agent. The program executes(i can se
e it in the task manager), but it block in that step and still in the task m
anager.
I tried with the calc.exe command with de same result.
?only DOS commands can execute the agent or there is another way to make it
work?
Thanks in advance
LomuHi
If the program shows a GUI then you should not run it from a scheduled job.
If you make it a command line program that will run and exit correctly then
you may be ok. Depending on what you are wanting to do there could be other
alternatives, such as writing an extended stored procedure, making it a COM
object.
