I am trying to open an outside program from within OI via a button.
I have entered the program in the repository as "Browser" with the subkey ""C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE" http://clinapp.duhs.duke.edu "
When I shift double click on the entry in the "Windows Executables" within the "Application Manager" the program opens.
I have tried to get this to work in my screen button using the following subroutine, but will not open. Any suggestions on how to get the function to run?
Subroutine OPENBROWSER (XX)
Declare Function Repository
X=REPOSITORY('EXECUTE', 'OFFICE*WINEXE**browser','')
Return 0

John-
If the Repository key is all in UPPER case, not mixed case, does it work then?

Very interesting. Putting all in caps did the job.
Thanks

The EntID is case sensitive, and when the Editor saves and compiles a program, the key is all upper case.
Glad it worked.
One gotcha is that if you try to test case-sensitive command from the System Monitor, it will try to convert the whole thing to upper case.
