When-Button-Pressed Trigger code:

DECLARE
	cmd VARCHAR2(32);
BEGIN
	cmd := 'C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\calc';
	HOST(cmd);
END;

Define the path as a varchar2 string for the windows application which you want to open. Path for an application depends on your operating system.

I'm using Windows XP Professional.
I checked this code before posting and it's working.

The path for Calculator in Windows 2000 will be different.
Check your path and file name and try again.

Try to open the notepad application.

Regards!
