I need to call an exe from within VFP program and send the exe an argument and the receives a value back and depeding on the value I want to continue execution of the program.

I am currently doing this

lcApp = ALLTRIM(fold_loc) + ALLTRIM(exe_name)
lcParam = ALLTRIM(exe_param)
shellExecute (0,"", lcApp, lcParam,"",1)

However I cant receive the argument returned from the called application. Also shellexecute will not wait until the value is returned.

Is this possible in VFP?
