Thanks Eric,

Is there an advantage to using the loShell as opposed to just the Run command.
Once I got edc.exe to convert 'T' to .T., I got this to work fine:
cmdButton.click()
RUN /N edc.EXE T

What would be the advantage of using:
cmdButton.click()
loShell = createobject("WScript.Shell")
loShell.Run("edc.exe T",1,.F.)
