>I need to be able to launch different files from VFP. For instance, I need to code a command button to launch Word or WordPerfect depending on the file type. In the Windows Run window I can point to a .wpd and it will open WordPerfect with the .wpd file. When I point the Window Run window at a .doc file it opens Word and the .doc file. I need this same functionality from VFP using a command button. Someone told me to use WSH to do this. Does anyone have any WSH code or even a better method to do this?

#define SW_SHOW_NORMAL 1
#define SW_SHOW_MINIMIZED 2
#define SW_SHOW_MAXIMIZED 3
oShell = createobject("WScript.Shell")
oShell.Run("c:\my documents\myfile.doc",SW_SHOW_NORMAL,.T.)

where the last parameter is .T. to run synchronously, that is for VFP to wait for the called program to end before continuing.
