>When using the RUN command from VFP executing a

If the message is over 62 characters the message fails, otherwise it works. If however I go to a command prompt and run the same message directly rather than executing the RUN command from within VFP I can send a message of considerably greater length. I have gone as high as 240 characters with no problem.
Jim, what I do is the next :
First store the whole command in a memory variable, like:
my_command='net send /parameter /parameter /parameter'
then I do my RUN statement using macro substitution (&), like:
RUN &my_command.
Hope this help, good luck.
