>>>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.

I should clarify here: We are using FP2.6 for DOS and the output of the net use command is being shown on the application screen. We are trying to supress this output. Even when I try 'run net use LPT1 \\blah\blah > NULL' the net use output is printed to the FP console. I've also tried using NOCONSOLE with no results. Hmm..this is a tricky one.
