>I am looking for an easy way to display AutoDesk WHIP! drawing files from a VFP6 application. I carry the name of the (local drive drawing) file with a DWF extension in a table and AutoDesk WHIP! is installed on the local drive. I need a way of calling displaying the DWF file.

Anthony,
If the DWF files are associated with AutoDesk WHIP!, you can use the WinAPI function ShellExecute to launch it from VFP. Take a look at these two links for some more information. The first shows a UT message with the VFP syntax for ShellExecute. The second is a link to the MSDN on-line docs for ShellExecute.

HTH.
