I know you have the answer to your question, but there is another way to do this that, IMO, is simpler. Ed and I wrote about this in the October 2000 issue of the VFUG newsletter, that's available on-line at www.vfug.org.

oShell = CREATEOBJECT('WScript.Shell')
oShell.Run('myexe.exe', 5, .T.)

The "myexe.exe" should be replaced by the fully qualified path of the executable. 5 = SW_SHOWNORMAL and the .T. parameter indicates that the calling application should wait until the called application terminates.
