Martin,

How are you handling Windows user id and passwords?

When I first tried to use RUNRMTCMD to bring up PDF files on a users PC,
I ran into problems unless I passed a username and password that matched
the user signed on.

Note this was on Windows NT 4.  Windows 9x didn't have the same problem.
I ended up using STRPCCMD instead for any "interactive" windows apps.

Has this limitation changed or do you get around it someway?

Charles
