HI!

How can I execute an EXE file made in Fox 2.6 into an app made in VFP 7.0

without using RUN /N

I Want to use shellexecute but i don't know the correct syntax.

Hi Samso,

1. Make sure the Fox*.ESl & FOX*.ESO files (Runtime libraries are in the same directory as the FPD2.6 application directory).
2. Start VFP
3. Set defa to that FPD2.6 application directory.

Then..

DECLARE INTEGER ShellExecute IN shell32.dll ;
INTEGER hndWin, STRING cAction, STRING cFileName, ;
STRING cParams, STRING cDir, INTEGER nShowWin
=ShellExecute(0,"","myFox2.Exe","","",1)

All the above you can put in a batch file and then run that batch file as well.

I have not tested deeply, but it works
