Hi Julie, your VFP app which runs the other VFP app is not controlling when or how the called app runs or exits. Therefore, to test, run the app you want to run from your main application directly. See if it runs properly and does not exit unless required to do so by the operator. If that works correctly your main app should be able to run it without a problem.

Or are you asking how to make the main app wait until the called app is finished?

>>Julie, the READ EVENTS in your example must be in the application you are calling. When you run another exe it runs in its own environment and needs its own READ EVENTS.
