foxrin.pif in win2k

[Dgoldswo]

I am runnig an application that is creating directories based on the current date and using the filer !mkdir command, this calls foxrun.pif. In WIN2K this leaves a "Inactive Foxpro Command" window open after the command runs and this leaves the application hanging. I tried creating the directory useing fcreate() but am not having any luck. Is there some other method of creating directories on the fly or a method to close this window so the application won't hang?

Have you tried the mkdir() function in FOXTOOLS.FLL?

STORE whatever TO DirName
x = mkdir('C:\' + DirName)

I'm sorry, I should have included the load library:


SET LIBRARY TO FOXTOOLS.FLL

STORE whatever TO DirName
x = mkdir('C:\' + DirName)

If you right-click on this file in Explorer, select Properties. Then on the Program Tab, make sure the "Close on exit" box is checked.
