Re: FoxPro 2.6 DOS Run Error

#11

Oh, sorry, misunderstood your problem. I guess you should play with
using CMD.EXE/COMMAND.COM, compatibility mode in FOX.PIF, to put
launched program into BAT-file and to look at command START and so on,
but I am not sure if it helps. I am affraid your problem is a feature of
implementation of command RUN in FP.

I have met another problem in VFP - launched external programs were run
in parallel tasks and my app was running on, but I had to wait for end
of external program. Here helped me the command START /wait .... .

Sorry about the English, but use a translator program.

earlier, under Windows 98 or Windows ME, ran an application in foxpro2.6 for DOS.

if within the application, called the calculator: run calc.exe
ran and was not interrupted in foxpro application.
Now with Windows XP, the same command in foxpro application stops until I close the calculator.

could in some way to set the calculator to load and continue without stopping aplicaicón foxpro?

I have had problems with the run command, FPD2.6 under MS-DOS (actually

MS-DOS and 4DOS). If I remember correctly, FPD wants to not only see
command.com, but actually run command.com. My solution was to change
the comspec variable from 4dos to command.com before running the FPD
app, then put it back upon exiting.
