>>>I have been using API_AppRun to lauch applications from vfp. I like the LaunchAppAndwait() method because it does just what it's name implies. VFP waits around until the launched app closes. Does anyone know how to get launchAppAndWait() to run a .wsf file. I want to run this script and have vfp wait until the script is completed. Or..... is there a way not to use API_AppRun and use a different technique to launch a wsf from within vfp and have vfp wait until the script is done?

Include, the .T. in the run command as in Sergey's example. Only difference is the window style parameter.
