We'll need more information than this. The following works - CI.EXE is an existing VFP app on my computer, compiled under VFP5. This code works under VFP5 and VFP6:
set classlib to process
*  This runs CI.EXE in the "E:\Carrier Information Tool" directory maximized
oProc=create('api_apprun','e:\carrier information tool\ci.exe','e:\carrier information tool','MAX')
? ox.launchapp()
What does your code look like? Some issues you might consider would include shared resource files, available memory and the startup directory.

I've tested this - I can even run a VFP session from within an application as long as resource issues (memory, file access requirements) don't cause problems.
