Work with second instance

[newtofoxpro]

Recently I worked on IE automation sending s*m*s. It takes 25 sec (approx) time to finish the job. my code is as under...

Function SendS_M_S
******************
parameter inMob_NO, inTxtToSend

CODE

RETURN (nothing)

When I run this function/procedure I have to wait for if this function run background the main foxpro screen, means I don't want to wait for finishing. So is it possible to run this code with another instance or should I call it as activex.

Building a seperate EXE with lparameters in it's main.prg, which would be exactly this code, enables you to call it as RUN /N yoursms.exe 5551234 "text", which would be a good and simple solution. Shoot and go.

Another possibility without a seperate exe is actually also available as
