I am having the same problem with Blat.
I am trying to use Blat in VFP 6.0. I construct a string then use strofile() to create a bat file that I execute with 'run batfile'. I installed Blat and it runs fine from a DOS command line, but I keep getting the error 'Bad command' when I try running it from VFP. I have set the path to include the DOS path used for successful Blat execution.

Has anyone had any success running Blat from VFP, has anyone had trouble using the 'run' command from VFP?
