>>>I'm developing an application in VFP that creates a partlist from a material database. At the moment the user has to enter the full path and name of the Autocad (v.13c4 Windows) drawing they are working on. Is there a way to determine what this programmatically? This application should run while AutoCAD is active.

Ok! now I got you Michel, the only thing that I have
in mind is to make a function in LISP or maybe a macro
in Autocad that writes to a file the name of your
drawing, then Fox can look at that file and
take the name from it.
Hope this help help.
Good luck.
