>Tracy,
>Check out http://www.news2news.com/vfp/?example=3&function=-1&xpg=1 . Shows how to use CreateProcess and even set up the parameters so that the DOS box doesn't pop up. This site is probably the best resource I've seen for using the Win32 API with VFP, BTW ...
>>Hi David,
>>I found this thread by searching the UT for a resolution and it helped. I've implemented shellexecute() successfully in my VFP7 app to launch a separate .exe written in Delphi with no problems. My question is: is there a memory difference between using Shellexecute(), createprocess, and the FF _shellexecute class? Does anyone have any examples (yours on shellexecute() on your website terrific by the way! Thanks!!!!!!) on using createprocess directly or the ff_shellexecute class? Using shellexecute directly works great, but I am always interested in the cleanest way to accomplish something!
>>TIA,
>>Tracy

What a fantastic resource! Thanks.
