It works when I start Zope with runzope, instead of starting it a a server. It's not really a problem to me because I can create a windows shceduled task to start zope everytime the server is turned on. I need to do it from Zope because the user needs to specify some parameters for the query, so I'm going to do it this way instead of using some other tool... Thanks to all Reinoud van Leeuwen wrote:

I think it's finding the programm because I'm using the complete path. And when I test it using the wrong programm name, it returns a 1. But instead, when I pass it the right name, it just hangs. In the task manager there is an entry for the program, but it doesn't seem to execute. Thanks for the help.
How is your Zope running? If it is running as a system service it has nothing to do with the current logged on user that has a desktop open. So Windows will not show notepad on the desktop... The question is: what is the problem you are trying to solve with this? Why should the webserver open a notepad? Try playing with a commandline program that does something usefull but does not need interaction (a batch file or something like that)
