From looking at the VFP help file, it claims that when you issue the RUN command, VFP looks for foxrun.pif in the current directory in order to get default settings for the DOS window. We have a foxrun.pif in our application directory which has settings such as run minimized, but that setting are not used when we issue a RUN command from the application. Any ideas?

Oh, by the way, if we double-click on foxrun.pif from explorer, it does run minimized, just not when called from VFP.

Thanks!
