GPG and the Run Command

[PaulBarbeau]

I am trying to run GPG to decode a file and i am having problem getting it to run. When i call it from inside VFP it says the exe is not there. Has anyone done this?

Also i read that i should not really be using the "run" command i should use "ShellExecuteEx" insted. Anyone have a sample on how to use this to run a command?

Thanks for the help i got it work. However it does not wait untill the job is finish to continue my VFP code. Do you know of a wait to make it pause untill the job is finished?

Do you know of a wait to make it pause untill the job is finished?

In your VFP code, launch GPG, then wait a couple of seconds (e.g. with WAIT.. TIMEOUT) to give it time to get started. Then run a loop, using my IsRunning() function to check if it is still running. You can get a copy of IsRunning() from:
