if the foxpro dos program is compiled as an exe you could just run it using the run command. Also your program should compile just fine in VFP so you could just run it from within your program. If the issue is the frx itself VFP will run a foxpro dos frx as long as you do not try to maintenance the frx in VFP,

You can add that report in your VFP project or just issue the command REPORT FORM myDosForm TO PRINT PRINTER ETC... and make the report form available in the project or path as usual. This shall sail smooth. ramani
