Hi Michelle,

I think there is a way you can do that. If you make available a public procedure on your EXE (with SET PROCEDURE or a method of a public object), then you can call this method from your "external" code, and this method (internal) can load the form.

I've used this trick for accessing internal EXE components other times.


Example: You have an EXE (myprog.exe) whose main program have this:

*-- MAIN.PRG
*
* (code)
*

PROCEDURE do_form( tcName )
   DO FORM ( tcName )
ENDPROC
*-- End MAIN.PRG

And from your external program, you do this:

SET PROCEDURE TO myprog.exe
do_form ("someform.scx")

Best regards.-
