Yeah, I guess I was vague... I have an executable that will run other executables as they are created by other programmers, like ...

lcProg = "whatever.exe"
.
.
.
DO (lcProg)

... what I need is a return value from "whatever.exe" that let's my program know whether that .EXE terminated normally (.T.) or abnormally/errored (.F.), so that my program can continue in the appropriate manner (and update a process table). I can't include those other programmer's .EXEs in my project because they are created continually from now on.
