I needed to generate a dbf file within a VFP application - when the file was done I had to first run it thru (within VFP) a third party WINDOWS app for further processing and when that was ready I had to run it thru a second Windows app. The code I wrote was as follows:

generate DBF ...
RUN /N app1.exe ...
RUN /N app2.exe ...

The problem was app2 loaded right behind app1's tail and it started processing before app1 finished or even started it's job. I tried the /N3 switch and NO switch and also placing both *RUN* lines in a single DOS .bat file. Any help would be appreciated.
