ExecuteProcess aborts the procedure [Solved]

[lillaCW]

Who can help me?
ExecuteProcess aborts the procedure
I am trying to start the VPN client from ShrewSoft via a button.
I read in the user name and password from an InI file.
This works quite well.
But after starting ShrewSoft the procedure aborts.
Although I have searched a lot, I cannot find the error.
Thanks

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]

1. procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
2. begin
3.   ShowMessage('Test1');
4.    ExecuteProcess('C:\Program Files\ShrewSoft\VPN Client\ipsecc.exe','-r ' + VAccessName + ' -u ' + VUserName + ' -p ' + VPasswort + ' -a');                      
5.  !! anything below this will be cancelled !!
6.   ShowMessage('Test2');
7. end;
8.  
9.

It does not abort/cancel.

ExecuteProcess will start your program and wait for it to close. The next line in your code will be executed after your external program ends/closes.

Great  ... thank you.
I did not know that.
I have now taken TProcess, so it works.

Just edit the subject line of your original posting and put
