Hi Joe,
If you don't mind a command window opening you can use the ! or RUN.
!c:\temp\params.cmd def abc
I wrote a cmd file that has the following
echo %1, %2
pause
I have these procedures I have used as well
Procedure StartExplorer1
*-- Start a Windows Explorer window in the current path
Local oShell As wScript.Shell
oShell = Createobject("wScript.Shell")
*-- If the folder list is prefered use "Explorer /e,"
* oShell.Run("Explorer " + Fullpath(""))
oShell.Exec("Explorer " + Fullpath(""))
Release oShell
ENDPROC
PROCEDURE StartExplorer
DECLARE INTEGER ShellExecute IN Shell32.DLL ;
INTEGER nWinHandle, ;
STRING cOperation, ;
STRING cFileName, ;
STRING cParameters, ;
STRING cDirectory, ;
INTEGER nShowWindow
LOCAL lcExec, lnRet
lcExec = ADDBS(GETENV("windir")) + "system32\explorer.exe"
lnRet = ShellExecute(_Screen.HWnd, "open", SYS(5)+SYS(2003), "",
SYS(5)+SYS(2003), 1)
*MESSAGEBOX(lcExec + CHR(13) + TRANSFORM(lnRet))
ENDPROC
HTH,
Tracy

Subject: Passing parameters to an external program run from fox
I'm pretty sure I have done this before but now I can't figure out the
syntax to make this happen. I finally substituted a batch file to display
the parameters passed in and to pause to allow reading time. The batch
file reports parameters passed in from the command linre but none from VFP.
Can someone help me out?
Thanks in advance,
Joe
