Nigel,

* create an instance of the WSH Shell object
local loShell
loShell = createobject('wscript.shell')
* 0 = minimised window for the command, .t. = wait for a return value
lnResult = loShell.Run(m.lcCommandLine, 0, .t.)

Cheers,

Andrew

If we were to introduce Visual FoxBase+, would we be able to work from the dotNet Prompt?
