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?

I want to launch to exe, send lots of sendkeys to myapp and then continue with vfp code after myapp.exe closes. If I pass the WshShell.run a .t., how will I be able to send sendkeys before the exe close? I need to senkeys transmitted before the myapp.exe closes.

Neil,

Use the VBScript to send the key strokes. Use the Run() method within it without the wait for return parameter. When you run the script from within VFP with the Run method, pass the wait for return parameter so that VFP waits for the script to finish executing.
