>What's the reason for changing the position of the closing parenthesis? We have used syntax like DO (cHomeDir)+"X.PRG or USE (cDataDir)+"PRDY0.DBF" IN 0 SHARE extensively and it has worked with no problems. In the 2 examples, we have a variable assignment statement at the beginning of our application such as cHomeDir = "H:\GROUP\MIPS\" and cDataDir = "H:\GROUP\MIPS\DATA\"

I am not sure if there is any difference. If there isnt, then why do you use the parens at all? Why not just
DO cHomeDir+"D_UDIAG.EXE" WITH "UGRP"

I use the parens just to make sure that FP knows to "evaluate this first" before reading the rest of the command line.

Let me know what you find out.//:^)
