>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.

What you can try then is the following
When the 2.6 app is started, and you found it using the findwindow function you get the hWnd back.
You can hold that hWnd handle.
Now in your loop you don't check with FindWindow, but with the IsWindow Function.
That functions needs a hWnd and gives you back if the window exists or not.
