FYI, I'm running VFP8 SP1 on a Windows XP SP1 Pro Machine.

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.
