Run command (!) failed in Win 2k

[RiverPlate]

I have a computer in a Win2k network, with Win2000 Pro SO.
A process needs to use the RUN ! command to call another EXE and it works properly all over the network in Win98 workstations but in that appears:
"Run Command Failed !"
Is there any way to solve it ?
Thanks

If you are using FPD
====================
Can you execute the run command successfully from the foxpro prompt?

If ok, you may have insufficient memory below 640k free when running the program that calls the !run .

If not, check if the path to the file is properly mapped, and that you have priviledges to this file.

Check out the top left menu SYSTEM item 1, 'About Foxpro' at the Command window

Ok, I'll prove it.
Thanks a lot !

You most likely need to change COMMAND.COM to CMD.EXE in your FOXRUN.PIF.
FOXRUN.PIF is located in your Foxpro install (or startup) directory.
Right click and go to properties. Click 'Programs'. Change the 'Cmd line' text box to CMD.EXE and Apply.

There can't be any spaces in the path to your EXE when using the the RUN command...you must use the DOS 8-3 naming conventions. Just a thought in case the path to the exe you are trying to execute is different on the Win2k Pro machine than the others and it contains spaces.
