>>>That's the native RUN command. If you're using VFP6, you can take a look at the FFC's ShellExecute class, or download my API_APPRUN class from here on UT, which use CreateProces() rather than ShellExecute() as the class basis.

That's true. I was curious though. Does the dos window flash by with the /N in front?
