Hi All,

I'm attempting to write an application which will open Autocad Files (I'm running AUTOCAD 2002 LT) from VFP8. I'm able to consistently open a file when Autocad is not running using both WSH & SHELLEXECUTE.

However, if AUTOCAD (2002 LT) is currently running, I am not able to get consistent results. The Foxpro app 'hangs' and ALT-TABBING over to Autocad displays a shrunken version of the File. It appears that AutoCad behaves differently from other apps such as Acrobat, Excel, etc. where you can open multiple files using WSH or SHELLEXECUTE. I know the full version of AUTOCAD supports automation, but at present the client only has the LT Version.

Has anyone else run into this issue?
