Sorry no. I maxed out my help potential by remembering the /C option


I don't think I've altered any relevant VFP setting and

RUN mycommand > myfile

works just fine in VFP for me.

Manually clicking Start - Run and using the CMD /C option also works, but I don't know how to invoke it programatically if that's what you need and RUN doesn't work for you.

Good luck.........Rich
