Dtermine when an unshelled process has finished

[RichardGarfield]

Is it possible in Access (2007) to stop code execution until another program (ie Word) has been exited, without shelling out to it to begin with?

I have a module which starts Word and inserts necessary text into bookmarks in a template. I only know how to do this programatically without using Shell (or CreateProcess or WaitForSingleObject), so I can't stop the code.

Would appreciate any adivce I can get on this.

Thanks

Richard
