>>>Actually I wanted the window to reside outside my application. (Remain on the desktop after my app is closed. I am able to do the following:
>>>
>>>

>>>Declare Integer GetUserName In advapi32 String@, Integer@
>>>lcusername = Replicate(Chr(0),255)
>>>lres = GetUserName(@lcusername,255)
>>>lcuser = Allt(Left(Upper(lcusername),At(Chr(0),lcusername)-1))
>>>LcUserPath = 'C:\DOCUMENTS AND SETTINGS\'+lcuser+'\DESKTOP'
>>>USE MyTable IN 0
>>>Select MyTable
>>>Copy To '&lcUserPath\Export.txt' Delimited  Fields Name,phone,address,city,state,zip
>>>Modify File '&lcUserPath\Export.Txt'
>>>CLOSE DATABASES
>>>RETURN
>>>

>>>
>>>
>>>This creates the text file on the desktop and opens it for edit within VFP, but I'd like to have it open on the desktop in another application such as Notepad.
>>>
>>>Thanks again,
