What is Windows NT 4.1?

You might try using API_APPRUN, a class that I wrote that uses one of the API calls to replace the RUN command.

Do you have the paths for the batch file correct? You may have a problem regarding either the Windows Search path, used to locate the executable components, or the strting directory, which is inherited from the VFP application's current directory (retrieved by CURDIR()).

You might try changing directories to be in the one the batch file resides in before using the RUN command. API_APPRUN allows you to specify a starting directory for executables.
