>>Can anyone tell me how in VFP can I call an .EXE and have focus return to the VFP program when the .EXE has finished. (the .EXE in this case is a compiled Foxpro for Windows program).

We are running a second .EXE from within VFP, this second program can run for a number of hours.

We require information that will enable us to determine when the second has terminated and also return focus back to VFP.

We are running the second program with RUN /N. Bear in mind that the operator may ALT+TAB out of either program. This is the root of the problem.

Ideally we would like to prevent them ALT+TAB out at all.
