>I have a situation where I allow users to select multiple rows in a grid in a main application. For the records they've selected, I would like to launch a sub-application, which is independant of the main - a separate EXE. I need to launch multiple instances of the sub-app, according to the number of records they selected. Also, if the main app is shut down, the sub-apps must continue running.

>I don't believe that I can simply "DO sub-app.exe" in a FOR loop, because it then becomes a subordinate of the main app.

>So, the question is... Is there any way to pass a parameter to a VFP EXE using ShellExecute? If so, what parameter, and how/where does it get accepted?
