>>>I need to be able to run a DOS command (in particular the "net use" command) and see any results given by the command. In other words, instead of the results being printed to the screen I need them to be returned to my foxpro program. Any ideas? Hmm...I'm stymied.

you could try "run net use >>somefile" or put it in a .bat file and execute that.
