accessing variable from an existing exe file

I think you'll need to explain a bit more of what you are trying to do, and the environment in which you are working.
Each individual program (such as MyVFPApp.EXE) runs in its own memory space, and the variables created by that program - public or private - an inaccessible from anywhere else.
Some exceptions: if you have MyFirstVFPApp.EXE, and while running it invokes MySecondVFPApp.EXE as a VFP application, there could be sharing of some memvars, because #2 is running as a part of #1's environment. Sort of exception #2: an EXE invoked as a COM object could have its public properties (not memvars) accessed by the invoking program. Robert Bradley
