Caroline,

You could always execute a prg if the program had been compiled and you have an fxp available. The ability to COMPILE at runtime was added to VFP6 SP3. ExecScript() has been added to VFP7. There was a utility written by Randy Pearson called CodeBlock that offered this functionality (basically, by macro expanding each line).
