Pausing program while waiting for another to finish

[Blinky Bill]

Hi guys,
I want to run another app from mine and i want my app to wait until the other has finished before doing anything else.

Does anyone know how to do this?

Didn't you ask this before?
I checked on VB Help and it is as you were using it in your code... And it comes from Windows 9x so I don't see why it wouldn't work in Windows 98.

Hey, I liked your other avatar better...

I know the other code should have worked, but for some strange reason it doesn't on this one machine, so i thought i'd ask the question again with a clean slate to see if anyone new of a completely different approach to the problem

Try this class

Thanx MuzzaD, it works almost perfectly. Just one minor little thing: How do i close the window of the application i just ran? On my XP machine, it closes automatically, but on a 2K machine, the window remained open.

[MuzzaD]

Not sure.

With the application we are using, it closes it self automatically. We are using it on Win2k and WinNT.

Well,
It closes itself automatically on my machine, but not on another, but its a crazy machine anyway. . Guess i'll work it out eventually. Thanx for the help on the pausing thing.
