Thanks again!

>>Thanks for the info, George! I am not familiar with ShellExecute() - I assume it is a call to something in the Win32 api: does this allow you to run an EXE with its command line - like the VFP's RUN command?

>  STRING @lpParameters, STRING @lpDirectory, SHORT nshow
>lcoperation = 'print'
>lnshow = 7 && Minimized/inactive
>* lcfile is the file to print
>lcdir = JUSTPATH(lcfile) && VFP 5.0 in Foxtools
>lcparms = ""
>lnresult = ShellExecute(0, @lcoperation, @lcfile, @lcparms, @lcdir, lnshow)
