Tracy,
This is great! Thanks so much! By the way, is there some reason why you choose
to use create process vs other methods such as WinExec.
On http://www.news2news.com/vfp/?group=58&function=2, they write:

"The WinExec function runs the specified application. Note This function
is provided only for compatibility with 16-bit Windows.
Win32-based applications should use the CreateProcess function"

So it looks like CreateProcess is a newer improved something?
