This message has been marked as the solution to the initial question of the thread.
>Can I send a run command like "c:\program files\MSOffice\Excel.exe" effectively running an Excel spreadsheet from outside of VFP ?

Yes, you could also ShellExecute() with .xls extension (like dblclicking in explorer) or open from VFP with automation.
