No need for Run, Shellexecute is far better.

lcProg = fullpath(lcProgram)
lcPar = textmerge(<<lcReport>> Case_ID <<lcCID>>)
Shellx(lcProg, lcPar)

*ShellX.prg:
*To use:
*
*lcProg = 'Yourpath\yourprog.exe'
*lcPar = 'some parameters' && Drop this line if no parameters
*ShellX(lcProg, lcPar)
Lparameters tcURL, tcParameter
if empty(tcParameter)
   tcParameter = ''
Endif
#define SW_HIDE 0
#DEFINE SW_SHOWNORMAL 1
#DEFINE SW_SHOWMINIMIZED 2
#DEFINE SW_SHOWMAXIMIZED 3
*!*   Legal verbs: open, edit, print, find, explore, NULL
DECLARE INTEGER ShellExecute IN shell32.dll ; 
   INTEGER hndWin, STRING cAction, STRING cFileName, ; 
   STRING cParams, STRING cDir, INTEGER nShowWin
ShellExecute( 0, "open", tcURL, tcParameter , "", SW_SHOWNORMAL )

Update: If there's spaces it the path, you must add apostrophes, like this

lcPar = textmerge("<<lcReport>>" Case_ID <<lcCID>>)
