Ole!

I am using an ActiveX (OLE as us old f##ts know it) control on a form in VFP 6.0
The command line will execute this:
C:\WINDOWS\explorer.exe
but when W/Explorer opens I want it to go to a preset path.
Am I on the right track that I need to add something at the end of C:\WINDOWS\explorer.exe \\server\directory\subdirectory\ (see all my files in this subdirectory) ?

cDir = getdir()
IF LEN(cDir) > 0
RUN /N explorer /e, &cDir
*set default to (cDir)
ENDIF

Johnod,

Try this:

DECLARE INTEGER ShellExecute IN shell32.dll ;
  INTEGER hndWin, ;
  STRING cAction, ;
  STRING cFileName, ;
  STRING cParams, ;
  STRING cDir, ;
  INTEGER nShowWin

.....

ShellExecute(0, "explore", ;
  "SomeDirectoryPath", "", "", 1)

Mike
