I will try this with shellexec. My problem is 2000 users, many of whom have peer to peer networks. The move to VFP 9 must be as transparent as possible or our tech support staff will be trampled. We cannot rely on our users to do even simple things like take a CD to each machine on the network and run it.
A problem is a problem only as long as it has a possible solution. Lacking that, it becomes a FACT!
