>>No, this is certainly not the quickest way because you have to load another instance of Visual FoxPro in memory before executing the first line of your code. And, in most case, you'll run out of memory before it succeed loading another time.

yes but what counts is the quickest way from the end-user POV
I think that writting a small C or Delphi program to do that for you (which btw you only need to write once if you do it correctly) is much better solution

> By the way I'm not sure about running out of memory. Actually I have system with couple VFP/VB executables running concurrently and memory is OK even on low-end (16M) workstations.

well not all ppl consider 16MB as low-end computers - right Lucien ? (s)
