Hello

First: the question is why when I run the same SHELL using the WebButton control event, it works well.

And when I run the same command through the WebFileButton control event, it does not work well.

Anyway, I also tried your advice to run the SHELL in the background like this:

Shell "/ bin / sleep 10" As "Process"

Public Sub Process_Kill ()
  
  
   Message ("Kill")
  
End

The thing is that when he finishes the process he goes into a Kill event
But I get an error:
Null Object In Webform1

It should be noted that "sleep" is just an example
In practice I want to upload a file to the server and perform any conversion on it and it can sometimes take a few seconds.


Thanks
