Thank you for your quick and appropriate response. It looks straight forward, but in my ignorance, it doesn't work for me!

I am setting the following properties

ThisForm.oProcess.icCommandline = 'tsr-tu3A.exe'
ThisForm.oProcess.icLaunchDir = "C:\TsrTu3a"
ThisForm.oProcess.icWindowMode = "NOR"

and getting a NULL response = "Can't do it". I have stepped it through to the CrPr statement, then...

Is there more I should know?
