Thanks all. I think it would be easier for me to just compile the app rather than put
in the extra coding. I take it that the observed behavior is what is expected though and not some syntax error in my ZIP command. -Bob ----- Original Message ----- From: "Paul InterlockInfo" <[email protected]> To: "RBASE-L Mailing List" <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, July 30, 2009 9:16:55 AM GMT -06:00 US/Canada Central Subject: [RBASE-L] - RE: ZIP Command Sorry for all the spelling errors.

This seems to work fine... with an exception. (I have not compiled this application yet and I have a command file that starts from an desktop icon.) C:\RBTI\RBG8\RBG8.EXE auto.cmd The auto.cmd simply does a connect and edit using form command. This all works as expected with just the form displaying on the screen When the eep runs that issues the zip command, the database explorer appears over the form. I can use the stay on top property, but the explorer still shows in the background. How do I use the ZIP command without having the explorer pop up? I want only the form to show on the desktop as when the program first starts. Turbo V8 Thanks all, -Bob
