I guess what you want to know is the success of the ! run (whether program has opened or not).
Looking at Foxpro help it doesn't appear to return a value.
If this is the issue I would probably use one the examples detailed in the FAQ section to cycle through open Window captions and look for the Application name.

Thanks. I've used VFP in the past. A few years ago I moved
into Sybase SQL Anywhere under unix and developed data apps
using PHP under Apache. But now I need to move back to VFP
(7.0). I'm rusty.
I am unable to get an update via odbc to work properly in VFP (an insert works fine). So what I had in mind was to
pass the query to an external php script, and return its
results (yea/nay) back so I can tell if the query worked.
I would prefer to the the ODBC update to work properly.
e.g. I have a grid of a view, if the data is changed on the
grid, it 'looks' okay. But when I exit the form and reload
it, the data has not changed.
