   case scmod.state of (
       1: Videomode = 0
       2: Videomode = 1
       3: Videomode = 2
       default: Videomode = 0
    ) 
     
    case binnub.state of (
       1: Binnumb = 0
       2: Binnumb = 1
       3: Binnumb = 2
       4: Binnumb = 3
       default: Binnumb = 0
    )
    
    case vidmo.state of (
       1: Vsync = 0
       2: Vsync = 1
    default: Vsync = 0
    )
      
    Dlay = Bamount.value
     
    args = videomode + " " + Binnumb + " " + Vsync + " " + Dlay
    shellLaunch "E:\Max9\Scripts\TESTData\TEST.exe\" args 

You were trying to pass 4 separate arguments instead of one separated by spaces.

Try that out, see if it works.

I get this
Syntax error: at bad, expected <keyword arg>
– In line: – shellLaunch “E:\M

I editted the line
shellLaunch (“E:\Max9\Scripts\TESTData\TEST.exe” args )

to this

shellLaunch (“E:\Max9\Scripts\TESTData\TEST.exe” args )

but then I get this
[size=1][color=#ff0000]Incompatible types: 0, and ” “

[color=#fffffe]
Im going to play around to see if I can sort it as Im sure it will be something silly , Thanks again

updated with the correct working code no prob, I’ve never used shellLaunch before, handy stuff.
