>I would like to create a screen in VFP that allows me to enter in a function, and parameter that is to be passed to SSANAME. SSANAME is a dos based program that cleans, stardarizes and creates keys for names. SSANAME would then perform the function according to the parameters. For those who know SSANAME, I am using the NAME3 function with parameter "1". SSANAME would then return the soundex key to the VFP table. How do I do this?

i am sorry if to bother u (i never heard of SSANAME)
but VFP has a soundex function built in (and even if it hadn't
it isn't very complicated to write one)
as for ur prob.

if u can't run the program (using !/run) then
if i am not mistaken u will have to write a wrapper dll in C
