Is it possible to run an external program (Clipper compiled)with an Approach macro or script?
Thanks

Several ways, macro Open command, LotusScript Shell function or a Windows API function.

There's a lot of information at You need to register (free) and login. See the following folders and topics in the Approach section:

FAQs - Fixes
1. Macro Open command fails when the filename contains spaces.

FAQs - Tips & Techniques - Win32 API functions
1. ShellExecute
2. Pausing Approach until the shelled application closes
3. Re-activating Approach after the shelled app closes
