Thanks for your postings!

I tried with the shell function first because that seems to be the easiest 
way. To begin with I just wanted to try starting matlab from within 
E-Prime, without any matlab script.

I used this E-Prime script:

Dim snd as String
Dim MyAppID As String
snd = "C:\Program Files\MATLAB\R2012a\bin\matlab.exe"
MyAppID = Shell(snd)

... and the following error message occured:
"The following runtume error occurred: Device I/O error, Line:205; Error 
Number 57"

So I had a closer look at the link you posted (by this Matthias guy) and 
thought maybe I need to pause E-Prime. So I used this code:

"Dim snd as String
Dim MyAppID As String
Rte.DeviceManager.Suspend
snd = "C:\Program Files\MATLAB\R2012a\bin\matlab.exe"
MyAppID = Shell(snd,0) 'use 0 instead of 1 hide the wmp
sleep(10000)"

However, same error message :-(

According to the interwebs, this error message has to do with external 
devices. But I don't use any. Puzzling!
Do you have any script for E-Prime that just starts some program, whatever 
it may be?

Thanks a lot,
Tobias
