Hi Michel,
I am using WIN95 running on an NT4.0 server. I would like to call an executable (residing on the server) from FoxPro 2.6 for Windows. At this point, when I do so, I get the error message "Must be run in WIN32".

I don't have this problem calling some apps, like "MS Word". I've tried expirementing some with shortcuts, but have not got it right yet.

The problem seems to stem from the fact that ! calls a DOS window, which then executes the application (in win16 I think), and I need to run it from within WIN95. I read sometime ago about registering Win API functions in Win 3.1 but doubted if that would work for in this case.
Hope you can help. Thanks for your time.

Daniel
