>Hi Folks,

>I am running a Fox 2.6 exe from within VFP 6.0. When the user selects the 2.6 exe to run, I use the WinExec API to kick it off. Since I do not want the user to be able to use the VFP exe, I then go into a loop checking to see if the 2.6 exe is still running using Findwindow.

>I was thinking that once I have the window handle using the 1st call to Findwindow, there must be a way to check if an exe is running using this handle - I have searched the API's but had no luck...

Maybe you can fopen a file under the 2.6 app
If you keep that file open during program execution you can check for the existance of the app by looking if you can open the file in the vfp app
