>ShellExecute doesn't return the value that GetExitCodeProcess needs. It returns the instance handle, not the process handle, which is what's required. If you were to start the process with CreateThread() I think (but am not 100% sure) that you'll get the value you need.

CreateProcess(), not CreateThread(). CreateThread() launches a thread in the memory context of the current process. VFP has kittens if you try this...
