Sounds like the Task Scheduler would suit you. It has an option to not
run if there's an existing run in progress.

Any ideas ?

Another point of view to consider here is that, in using ShellExecute,
you're yielding to Windows to open the PDF in the registered
application. It may be the default Reader in some OS. It may be FoxIt,
as someone's already mentioned. It may be the full Adobe Suite, if
someone has that

In the command line that's built, it's to be ?CC, but we're using &CC in
our code to insert the value from the property. It works with Outlook

My only idea is to conditionally add the ?CC

The only other thought I have regarding the error, the SYS(2023) might be

Since you are using Try/Catch, you can drop the use of FindWindow and use

ShellExecute(_VFP.hWnd,tcAction,tcFile,"",Sys(2023),1)
Are you really calling the ShellExecute twice, or is that just word wrap

Are you directly returning the value of ShellExecute to the calling code?
Depending on your declaration it might be expecting a logical and the

I can help with the easy part. In Notepad, open File, page setup, and

I don't think that can be done programatically, though.
