No matter what you do within your application (VFP copy, API, WSH), it's all going to stop processing because of the single threaded nature of VFP.

The only way I know to get around this is to create an out-of-process COM server (EXE) and launch that using Createobject(). You could set a property cCommand of that object and launch a timer within it. It will run outside of your thread and the only thing you have to do is periodically check a status property to determine if it completed or errored out.

HTH.
