Karen,

Did you try

lcExeName = "VFP9.exe" without a path?

>Hi Sergey - your program below works on programs that are running on the same computer as vfp - (very imprssive feat btw)
>i am trying to shut down the vfp on a neworked computer and while i get the first [.t.] which shows that your program recognizes the secondary computer and that vfp is running on it - when your program moves into phase 2 and attempts to shut down the vfp program i get an error message as shown here. is there an easy fix here or is this program not meant for network applications ?
