It may just look like that, or maybe you are not using the proper parameters.

Using the /N -parameter in RUN command tells VFP to run the exe in a "NOWAIT" -mode, so that you can continue with whatever you are doing while the EXE runs in its own thread. Use /N2 to run the Windows EXE minimized -- this should allow you to do other things in VFP while the printer program is running in the background.
