I am not familiar with WinExec()...it is a function, located where?

I am very interested...I have the DOS box popping-up in several spots in the system I am developing.

I have changed the foxrun.pif to run DOS boxes minimized...but when you run something, it won't run minimized or in the backgroup...as far as I know.

Oh, regarding the faster machine...we all have Pentium Pro 200's with 64 Mb RAM...and we can't afford to upgrade right away...but, maybe someday...

Interested in WinExec()...

Take care.

Joe
