Opening SQL Server

[Gy7oizwU]

Hi all

I have a small issue, i am opening SQL Server when clicking on a button by simply calling SYSTEM(ssms.exe -S........) SQL server opens and logs in fine however, the CMD window does not close and remains open until i close sql server. My windows form also becomes unresponsive. Does anyone have any idea how i can close the cmd window once sql i opened?

Thanks

If your Operating System is Windows ;
Try ShellExecute() function instead of System.

ShellExecute () function will be of use, if it doesn't work you need to reinstall the data base.
