Hi there,

trying to start a programm from IDL, I got a message box telling me
"SPAWN blocked by IDL"

I assume this is a security thing?! But is there a way to allow it?

Thanks,
Harro

Is there a chance you need to CD to the directory containing the executable?

spawn, 'cd G:\Herramientas & Modos.exe'

The error isn't very enlightening. Though it may not help, can you build your executable with debugging enabled?
