Ed Rauh uploaded a few days ago a FAQ on how to run an external exe from VFP (in the FAQ section of UT). It seems to be very good and complete. But it's for VFP, not FPD. Maybe you can make it work in FPD.

>How can I run an EXE from FoxPro and out Fox in wiat until the other EXE is done running. If I use ! /N a black screen comes up, then fox doesn't wait anyway, BTW I'm calling a VFP6 app from a FP25 app. Also is there a way to determine in Win95 from FP26 if a 32bit app is running.
