..Net v1.1
I am trying to launch a MS Word merge document. It is linked to an Access mdb that has a parameterized query that pops up an input dialog when you open it. None of this should matter of course, but I think maybe it is causing the problem..?
I am doing this:
System.Diagnostics.Process merge_doc = new System.Diagnostics.Process();
merge_doc.StartInfo.FileName = "c:\adoc.doc";
merge_doc.Start();
The start call is blocking until I close the popup input form... ?! Even stranger is that a message loop is still running somewhere because my main application continues to run. The menu handler in which I start the process does in fact block though. Eventually control returns once I close that Access popup, like I said. I thought Start() was not supposed to block? Workarounds?
thx
