Hi Alan,
Thanks for this much needed hint on the obvious way to go.  Moreover, I had
even given several DevCon talks about controlling the PC with the shell
object etc, but that was many years ago. But I might have known :(
Seems I'm getting really old :(

wOOdy

You could skin it a different way and use WMI:

strComputer = "."
objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" +
strComputer +"\root\cimv2") 
objDisk = objWMIService.Get("Win32_LogicalDisk.DeviceID='D:'")
errReturn = objDisk.ChkDsk(.f.)      && or .t. to fix errors
? errReturn

I believe the return codes etc are as described here:
