>What is the best way to run an non-Foxpro EXE from within Foxpro code?

I see that you marked my reply as the solution, but I said the "simplest", not the "best" <g>. The simplest may very well be the best in some cases, but there are cases where you may want to fetch the return value, or check continuously whether your external APP is still running. I think in this case some Windows API is appropriate, but I don't remember the details.
Difference in opinions hath cost many millions of lives: for instance, whether flesh be bread, or bread be flesh; whether whistling be a vice or a virtue; whether it be better to kiss a post, or throw it into the fire... (from Gulliver's Travels)
