Yes,
I have done this using a form of type "dialog" which allows the code to
wait and using application handles.
You need to get the application handle of the external application (which
you have shelled) and every second or so, test to see if the handle number
is still present.
If it is, then wait for a second and when the handle is no longer present
you know your code can continue so close the dialog form
Sounds easy but takes a bit of code(which I dont have to hand).
I get plenty of code chunks from here which might get the bit you need.

Sorry i dont have the code, but someone else might

Hello,
I have an Access application and I would like to not only run an external
application, but at the point in the code where it is run, I'd like to
wait for the external applicaiton to finish, then run the rest of the
code.
Is there any way to do this?
Thankis!
Rick
