I created a small program in VFP to launch Eudora with a parameter to set the default user directory depending on the user login name. The project is actually composed of a single prg and a single form class - the prg creates an instance of the form, opens it in modal mode the form closes as soon as the user clicks a button to launch Eudora and the program exits.

My question is, is there any way to lauch the form by itself without displaying it in a vfp desktop? I have tried setting the form's ShowWindow property to 2 (top level form) but it didn't work. I also tried DeskTop set to true to no avail.

Another question related to this form is that when I RUN the Eudora.exe, the DOS window always shows up. Is there any way to hide it?

Thanks in advance for any help.
