Well, like I said it's been about a year since I did it so I prolly forgot - it must of been with the DO command if the other is impossible.

Assuming it was the DO command - what happens to the VFP9 features if running from inside a VFP6 app like this? (without the existence of the VFP9 runtimes of course....)

Does that mean my VFP9 EXE that was running ended up with all the features of VFP6 as a result? So like engine behavior was set to 70 on it's own?
