Hi,

I know there's the -r parameter to refresh the chart. But when I run OrgPlus with the -r parameter it opens the program, refreshes the chart and then it closes the program!

How can I avoid that the program closes?

BTW: I'm using the German version...

Are you using the command lines in a batch file? If so, at the end of the file, place the following command and it will open your chart:

orgplus5.exe <file to be opened>

No. I am calling OrgPlus from an ERP software. If I use the open command right behind the refresh command then it does not do the refresh. Most likely because the calling program does not wait until the first instance (which does the refresh) ends, before it rund the instance with the "open" command. So the old version of the chart data is displayed.

Running an external program from the ERP system is limited to a simple SHELL command.

It would be great to have an option which will let OrgPlus stay open after doing the refresh.

OK, I modified my program. It creates a batch file which contains the two separate commands for refreshing and opening.

But the command window stays open as long as OrgPlus is opened. This is not a professional solution. The user should not see the command window at all.

Is there any chance that the Refresh option will be extended with an additional parameter that lets OrgPlus opened after the refresh has been done? Should be not too difficult, I suppose.

Create two batch files.

One with the following commands:
@echo off

cd c:\program files\humanconcepts\orgplus 5\

orgplus5.exe -r "c:\documents and settings\ted osborne\my documents\my charts\<FILE.opx>"

cd c:\documents and settings\ted osborne\desktop

start 2.bat

cd c:\program files\humanconcepts\orgplus 5\

orgplus5.exe "c:\documents and settings\ted osborne\my documents\my charts\<FILE.opx>"

and the other (named 2.bat) with the following command:
taskkill /IM cmd.exe
