>>>>>Take a look at my FAQ entry on using the CopyFile() API call rather than the DOS COPY command or VFP COPY FILE command. You can also look at using my API_APPRUN class and XCOPY (COPY is an internal command, so running it without a command processor is troublesome) to run DOS commands without a DOS window. You can download API_APPRUN from here on UT.

However, these commands run and complete their tasks successfully without been detected when they finish, even included into a .Bat file. Surely I’m missing something, on the way the LaunchAppAndWait method should be used, since it never returns from it.

Worked perfectly with this last hint.

I noticed that when executing a deltree hangs when some output is sent to the screen. However I executed deltree on an empty folder and it returned.

Thanks again
