Greg,

You probably need to spawn this as a seperate process to get it to work completely.

loShell = createobject( "wscript.shell" )
loShell.Run( "path+exename arguments", 1, .t. )

The 1 means in a normal window, and the .t. makes it modal so it won't return from the Run() method until the spawned exe terminates.
