Good morning Robie, Something more for you to think about. You have an exe say robie.exe What is stopping you from calling robie.exe parameter1 prarameter2 from the command line. I just checked you can call a dbase exe from command prompt and it will execute. And even commence would be having the option of executing some command line commands. So instead of API you could be executing dbase exe from command line with suitable parameters. Regards Akshat
