I am having trouble executing a program that has a gui with an associated user and password. In a batch file it works OK: ACXMLAI -gui -u:"carter" -p:"welcome", where ACXMLAI is the executable program, carter is the username and welcome is the password. The exec command does not seem to work in Win32 so I used system: system("C:\\Program Files\\Kofax\\Capture\\bin\\ACXMLAI -gui -u:"carterjg" -p:"kofax"");. Perl is confused with the quotes around the username and password, but the gui requires them. The perl error is "Bareword found where operator expected at perltest.pl line 1, near "C:\\Program Files\\Kofax\\Capture\\bin\\ACXMLAI -gui -u:"carterjg" (Missing operator before carterjg?)Is there a way to execute a program with the gui user and password? Thanks so much for your time, Jeff
