Thanks for your input Mike. I agree with you & Chris based on the fact that I've used ShellExecute() many times in the past and have never encountered this problem before. I don't think the culprit is the zipping at the end of the program (btw it's WinZip command line). Even if it does behave...

Chris, thanks for your response. You're obviously correct about RUN vs ShellExecute. I've used ShellExecute many times in the past to, among other things, avoid the opening of a "DOS" window. So I think you have correctly identified the problem that either the zip EXE or pdf converter EXE are...

Hello all. I have a VFP 9 program which calls an EXE to create PDF files and another EXE to zip the numerous PDF files into a single zip file. The EXE's are executed using ShellExecute. This accomplishes the desired result however, each time ShellExecute runs there's a very brief flash of a...

Mike, Thanks very much for your suggestion. I implemented the CREATEOBJECT code and it worked perfectly. Thanks again.

Hello, Is there a way to stop the RUN command from flashing a DOS window across the VFP screen (the DOS process does not require any user interaction) or alternatively, if I use ShellExecute, how do I make the calling VFP program wait until the ShellExecute operation has completed?

Hello Rajesh, Thank you for this information. Unfortunately, this project is temporarily on hold. When it moves back up on the priority list, I'll be researching the suggestions posted here. We do a lot with bar codes, so I understand and agree with your input. Our problem is that all of our...

Thanks everyone for your help. Mike, you're correct that I need to print individual labels as opposed to multi-label sheets. Although this isn't a POS system, the function is similar to POS. Edgar, thanks for the info and possible models. I'll check them out. I'm sure one them will meet my...

Thanks for your response hardianwn. I should have been more specific. Bar codes aren't the problem... we have the necessary fonts. I need a printer that can print directly from within Visual Foxpro, not via proprietary software supplied with the printer.

Hello all. Can anyone recommend a thermal label printer that can be directly controlled via VFP primarily to produce bar code labels. Thanks.
