Shell command

[developer155]

I am calling another vb program from my vb program. Is there a way to make sure that the vb program that I am calling has finished before moving forward. What I see when I debug is that after Shell command control goes to the next statement within a few seconds, but the program that I called still keeps executing for a few minutes

thanks!!!

Do a search on the forum for ShellAndWait - there are several examples around, including a demo of use in faq222-4910
