Dionisis,
Try to use Execute() or ShellExecute (ShellExecute( hWnd, cOper, cFile,
cParam, cDir, nShowMode ) --> nReturn )

Use SW_SHOWNOACTIVATE at the last parameter of ShellExecute()

Ignacio , Jose
Many thanks both for yours answers , but the problem stays.
When the external application (process) start runing imediately the focus
goes to the parent form (the main form of my program , the one with menus
etc) ,on the next statement after the process (which is a definition of a
FileOperation object that copies files on a floppy) that i want to avoid.
I want the control stays on the process until finishes , and it when finish
then open the FileOperation for copying the files.
With function Execute( procces,Directory,.T.) the control stays on the
process program but when drag-over the process form on the parent area
(i.e. MaiForm) this area disturbed , (the process leaves a white trace , and
many times hangs the whole program).
TIA

The third parameter means that your app will remain halted until the other
process is running. This causes your app to stop processing messages, and
WinXP advises it like if your app is hang. In this case, you should control
the execution of the other process. Simething like:
hProcess := Execute( process, directory, .F. )
WHILE IsRunning( hProcess )
ProcessMessages()
ENDDO
This lets your app to process any windows message, and it is not hanged for
the windows point of view.

Should read:
"The third parameter means that your app will remain halted until the other
process FINISHED."
