>I am trying to copy some files to specific directories and then lauch a windows based program. The program is an exe file. Any problems when I close launched windows program? Would appreciate any help. I have VFP 5.0 Thanks

You can use the RUN /N syntax; if you need to wait on the launched app to terminate, or monitor its exit code, you might want to use my API_APPRUN class, downloadable from here on UT, or the Wscript.Shell's Run method, which can wait on termination.
