Hello,

I want use a command button in Word to execute a FoxPro program with parameters.

What would be the correct syntax?

In dos the parameter is:

s:\datadi~1\DEV>datadictionary+sainfo.dbf

This should really be posted in a VBA forum, but if I remeber you can use SHELL in VBA. So the command would be.

SHELL "s:\datadi~1\DEV>datadictionary+sainfo.dbf" Craig, mailto:sander@cogeco.ca

Si hoc legere scis, nimis eruditionis habes
