I am finding shelling out to DOS in my VFP application (under WinNT) to change file attributes from ReadOnly to ReadWrite to be a drag! I don't want to have a DOS window pop up on the screen, and when I use RUN /N2, the command doesn't always finish by the time I need to delete the file in code (yech). There must be some programmatic method to do this:

If ReadOnly
Make ReadWrite
EndIf

Even if I have to resort to an API!?!?

TIA
