Thanks for the suggestion. I already tried the CONFIG file solution, to no avail. When the CGI sccript calls the FoxPro executable, there's still a flash, whether we run it from the HTML page or, as a test, from the DOS command line.

I also already got the suggestion to implement a COM server, but I've never done this and don't know how to proceed. All I know is the general advice to make my program into a method, and then to use the following sample:

oVFPObject = CREATEOBJECT("MyCOMLibrary".MyCOMCLass")
oVFPObject.DoMyMEthod(< parameter list>)
RELEASE oVFPObject

The problem is, I have neither a class or a library, so at this point I'm stuck. I'd be really grateful if you (or anyone else) could give me a push in the right direction. I appreciate the help.
