The main purpose of the Process Watcher application (exe1) is that the program it launches should be completly ignorant as to who or what launched it. If I were to use exe1 to launch Photoshop.... Photoshop would not care who or what launched it. That is my goal for finishing this application... it should be able to launch VFP applications and 3rd party compiled binary's regardless of any path statements. Can Visual FoxPro not launch a separate instance/thread for a separate application? Or if you run 5 VFP applications does it run them all in the same instance?

I hope my goal was understandable and look forward to any insights you can provide.
