Steve, I can send you the .dll I wrote that works with a system service. You would have to declare it in VFP and then call it, passing the User and Password. The key thing is that, after establishing impersonation, the .dll does a CreateProcess to start your other VFP .EXE. I guess it would make sense to have a 3rd parameter that is the .EXE name. Right now it's hard-coded...
