>Is it possible to run vfp automatically, that is, start vfp, execute one program, then quit that instance of vfp, done.Do you mean an EXE?
Yes. You could use Windows task scheduler to run your EXE whenever, then make sure your EXE ends in QUIT and totally gets out of memory ,else you'd have to kill it from Windows' Task Manager
If you mean within the VFP IDE, I don't know why you'd want to do that, but you could use a CONFIG.FPW with a line like:
command = DO C:\MyPath\MyApp.PRG
