Just wanted to find whether is it possible to open a new application (say outlook, excel or any other web based application) from mfg/pro?
 
Generally it is, but you have to write a little program to launch the application, then assign the program to a Menu Option in MFG/PRO.

So, if you had a program launchexcel.p which looked like this:

Code:
OS-COMMAND  NO-WAIT VALUE ("""C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\EXCEL.EXE""").

you could then add launchexcel.p to the MFG/PRO Menu and choosing it would launch Excel. You would probably have to compile the program first, depending on your licencing.
