Hi Ron,

Here's an example call:

DECLARE INTEGER FindExecutable IN Shell32;
  STRING @lpFile, STRING @lpDirectory,;
  STRING @lpResult
* lcfile is the fully qualified file name to be used
* to retrieve the executable name
lcpath = JUSTPATH(lcfile) && In VFP 6.0. 5.0 requires Foxtools
lcbuffer = SPACE(260)
lnresult = FindExecutable(@lcfile, @lcpath, @lcbuffer)
IF lnresult > 32
  * The function succeeded.
  * Strip off any parameters here.
ENDIF

If the return value is 31, there's no executable associated with the file. Values less than or equal to 32 are errors.

hth,
