DOS command line execution

[lavanya]

I use ACCESS 2000.
I have a form that does some processing and then has to
run a command line utility based on form input, wait for
it to finish and then continue. What is the best way to
do this ?
DO I use the Runapp or shell command? It seems that the
shell command will not finish for the execution before
proceeding to the next statement.
Any help will be appreciated.

Terry Kreft has written a bit of code called Shell_Wait that will probably

do what you want. I've used it to run other windows based apps
asymmetrically. I can't remember where I got it from though. Perhaps someone
else here, knows the site.
