Mike,
>>I am trying to have a launcher find a running vfp.exe (call it target.exe) and switch to it, if it has the right startup folder. If not, I want to launch that one. I can find examples to get the target exe by window title. That won't work as the app changes the title frequently.
>>I think I want to access the _docmd of the target.exe so I can check if it is the correct target.
>>So I want to iterate through all running targets, but check their startup folder. If none are running, or not the one for this particular folder, then I want to start them. I already have the way to start them with shellexecute.
Does the launcher need to be VFP? And sorry if already answered, but is the purpose to allow deployment of new versions while prior version is in use, or what's the goal?
Regards, J

yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
