Mel,

This works too:

function RunProcess( pcProgram, pcArguments, pnShowWindow, plModal )

local loShell, lnRetVal

if type('pcArguments') != 'C'
	pcArguments = ""
endif

loShell = createobject( "wscript.shell" )
lnRetVal = loShell.Run( pcProgram + " " + pcArguments, pnShowWindow, plModal )
return lnRetVal

if plModal is .t. it'll wait until the launched process finishes.

>I am calling an external Windows app (not a VFP app) from within the method of a Form using the RUN /N command. However, I need my VFP program to stop and not proceed until I call the other program, and it is done processing some information. The other program does present some dialogs which the user must enter some data into.
