I have two EXEs, one compiled in VFP5 (call it PROG5.EXE), the other compiled in VFP7 (call it PROG7.EXE), running on a single workstation. Both VFP5 and VFP7 runtimes are installed, and both PROG5.EXE and PROG7.EXE run fine when launched separately.

But when I call PROG7.EXE from within PROG5.EXE, VFP5 throws Error 1195 "Object file PROG7.EXE was compiled in a previous version of FoxPro".

The call to PROG7.EXE from within PROG5.EXE is being made like this:

oExternal = CREATEOBJECT("ShellExecute",&sCommand,"open",&lParam,&sPath)
oExternal.Execute()

where
&sCommand is the fully-qualified path to PROG7.EXE
&lParam is a parameter string of arguments passed to PROG7.EXE
&sPath is the default directory where PROG7.EXE resides

This call from PROG5.EXE to PROG7.EXE worked great before PROG7.EXE was compiled in VFP7.

Any answers out there?

Thanks
Curt
