Hi Namri,

I had the same problem, I solved it creating a pif file and also by
setting ProcessStartInfo in the Process.Start() method.

In the Pif file select "Close on exit" checkbox and minimized in the Run
box, the pif is created under your windows directory.

The properties of ProcessStartInfo that you need to set are:
ProcessStartInfo.WindowStyle = ProcessWindowStyle.Hidden ( if this does not
work try Minimized )

Hope this help,

Hi again,

This is the actual code I'm using. I'm using it to run the foxpro 2.5
interpreter.

try

{

Process proc = new Process();

proc.StartInfo.FileName = foxexe;

proc.StartInfo.Arguments = prg;

proc.StartInfo.WindowStyle = ProcessWindowStyle.Hidden;

proc.StartInfo.ErrorDialog = false;

proc.StartInfo.WorkingDirectory = Path.GetDirectoryName( prg);

proc.Start();

proc.WaitForExit();

if ( proc.ExitCode!= 0 )

throw new Exception("Error executing foxpro");

}

catch( Exception ex)
