Hi Rick,
Thanks alot.

Do have any experience with pcAnywhere? I would like to make ths filetransfer as invisible to the user as possible?
Any pointers. The manual on OLE Automation is no help to me.

Peter

lccommandline = ["C:\Program Files\Symantec\pcAnywhere\awrem32.exe" "C:\Windows\All Users\Application Data\Symantec\pcAnywhere\yourfile.chf"]
>ox=NEWOBJECT( "api_apprun", "\vfpshare\api_apprun\process", "", lcCommandLine)
>ox.LaunchApp()
>ox=null
