When trying to debug an app object that runs a program that opens a DOS command window, the window opens and closes before you can read any error messages.

SOLUTION: Move the command from the "Path to file:" window to the beginning of the "Parameters" window (don't forget a space between the command and any parameters). Then put "cmd /k" in the "Path to file:" window. This will hold the command window open until it is closed manually.

It was contributed by a community member and is published "as is." It seems to have worked for at least one person, and might work for you. But please be sure to test, test, test before you do anything drastic with it.
