>>I have a VFP9 exe (let's call it myVFP.exe) sitting in the same folder as my project file (let's call it myProject). myVFP.exe has a bunch of procedure files built into it and I'd like to call one of those procedures (let's call it myProcedure) from a form in myProject. The help file says that I should be able to do this using the syntax, "DO ProgramName1 | ProcedureName [IN ProgramName2] [WITH ParameterList]". So, naturally I tried the following command in my form's load event:
>>
>>DO myProcedure IN myVFP.exe WITH "someparam"
>>
>>and I receive "Procedure 'myProcedure' not found". The help file says, "If...the specified procedure isn't in the program file, the message "Procedure is not found" appears". I'm thinking that the latter message is kinda that same as what I receive. So, this begs the question, why do I get this error? I know for a fact that myVFP.exe has that procedure built into it.

Thanks Thomas. What do you mean by "top level proc"?
