Changing the Priority of a program 1

[Keeper00]

I would like to change the priority of a program from within VFP 8.0. I run records through a batch process and want the process to run as fast as possible. The machine that it runs on is dedicated for this process, so setting the priority to High is not an issue. The question is, how do I identify the right program and then set its priority to High?

Thanks,

Joe

Craig,

Thanks for the link, this was very helpful. I was able to find another example at:

Looking at both of them I was able to get my code to work and switch the program to high when it was running.

Thanks,

Joe
