PRB: RUN Command Problem with a Foundation READ in a Menu

Last reviewed: June 27, 1995
Article ID: Q104100

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft FoxPro for Windows, versions 2.5 and 2.5a

If the following command is built into a menu that contains a foundation READ, the dialog box will disappear behind FoxPro. The box has been launched, but it is behind the main FoxPro window.

   RUN /N Control Printers

To work around this problem, add a second line of code:

   WAIT ""

This command will keep the launched item on top of the FoxPro main screen when the menu procedure is used with a foundation READ.

Additional reference words: FoxWin 2.50 2.50a
