Bobo,
Which "Find" are you speaking of? You can automate filer.DLL - this has been available since VFP 5.0!

Bobo,

I don't know if you can bring up the Find dialogue from with in an EXE file. If you can, then you could always use KEYBOARD to enable its various options.

Oh, wait. That won't work. The dialogue is modal. Sorry.

Bobo,

OK. Another thought. KEYBORD the necessary characters first, then invoke the dialogue by calling SYS(1500). I've no idea if that would work, but it's worth a try.

bobo123,

I don't know what version of VFP you use, but that's what I found in VFP 6.0 Help:

Find Dialog Box

Category Data Query
Default Catalog Visual FoxPro Catalog\Foundation Classes\Data Query
Class _finddialog
Base Class Form
Class Library _table.vcx
Parent Class _form
Sample ...\Samples\Vfp98\Solution\Ffc\dataqry.scx


Remarks

This class provides a generic Find dialog with simple options such as field choice. This class uses the Find object.

To use, drop the class on a project or, from the Component Gallery Item Shortcut menu, select Create Form or Add to Project. When you drop the class on a project, you can choose between adding the class, creating a subclass, or creating a form. When you drop the class on a project or choose Create a new form from the selected class in the shortcut menu, Visual FoxPro displays an Open dialog box so you can specify the name of the form, then creates and opens the form in the Form Designer.

After that, you can find properties an methods, including lMatchCase, lWrapAround, etc. I hope it's what you need.

Bobo,

Why not just write your own? Not very hard to replicate the functionality with code.
