>>>>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:

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.

No, but if I do, I get the error, "File 'myProcedure.prg' does not exist."
