/ubbthreads/images/icons/smile.gif OK let's try and clarify what the question is and then we'll help you solve it. Please confirm your details, are you saying that:

1. You have 2 projects, project#1 which is already built into an .exe, and project#2 which is still editable?

2. You would like to add a link in project#2 which launches project#1?

Is that an accurate assessment of the question or am I missing something, let me know...

yes i have project#1 build and closed (not made by me) and i am making a second project that as new commands and one of them is to execute the "xxx.exe" of the project#1( it has autorun).
I canīt change the name, not even put it into a directorie, it must be in the root of the cd.

Just use a FILE > EXECUTE action (attach it to a button or a hotspot) and point it at %SrcDrv%/xxx.exe

No, it is not that simple.
Project 1 has the file xxx.exe that when burned into a cd it plays automatically.
Project 2 that is what i am making has new commands and one of them has a link to xxx.exe.
I already tried to do that you said and the result is a computer crash, because the pc doesnīt know what file to play.
This is my big question how to make my the first to run without a crash.( I canīt change the name or even the extension of the file xxx.exe, canīt put it into any directorie).
I know this is a hard question, that is why am i asking you

If these programs both made by APMS, I think there will be a conflict in the DATA folder (both programs use different files, but with the same name).
Try to change the name of the DATA folder to DATA2 before building it (Project settings, Bulid/Store support files in subfolder: )
Maybe this will work.
