>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?

You can use the _ShellExecute class provided in the Fox Foundation Classes (FFC) that came with VFP - it's in the VCX _environ.VCX in the FFC subfolder of your copy of VFP. You can also call the ShellExecute() Windows API directly, use the WSH Wscript.Shell Run() method, or the Shell.Application Open() method to do this.
