That's one of the reasons I prefer the API for this sort of thing - when you distribute Wscript, you have to have the right version of Wscript for the right OS, etc(IOW, kind of a headache). The API is pretty consistent across OSs. If you want to go back to the API, try Ed's APIRun in downloads or use the combo of WaitForSingleObject/CreateProcess, which ShellExec is based on, explained at: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;q191584
>>In addition (correction: Shell object, not VBScript... misspelled).
>>Try the following code:
>>
>>sll = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
>>lcCmd = '"C:\program files\Microsoft Office\Office10\excel.exe"'
>>cmdReturn = sll.Run(lcCmd, 1, .T.)
>>
>>VFP window is available, but user input is locked.
