Sergey,
thanks once again for a quick answer. I checked out the MS doc and, since I like simple, found that this works just fine.

mRootDir ='G:\RODATA\'
mFolder = mRootDir + 'RO23412' && depends on what RO customer is viewing.
run /n EXPLORER ,&mFolder

It opens the desired folder and the user can change the view type to detail, large icons, etc.


>>I have a customer that puts a lot of associated items (Word, Excel docs, pictures, etc) for each repair order in windows folders. How could I open a given windows folder from within VFP 6? ie Folder name G:\STUFF\RO23531. Each RO would have it's own folder off of Stuff. The folder needs to open showing all contents so the user can double click on word, excell or picture file to launce whatever applicaton in the normal windows way.

>>TIA.
