Wait for app to finish

[Daniel]

Hi group,

I have a solution with 2 apps. When i run 1 of the apps it starts by
checking for a file. If the file does not exist, it runs the other app
in the solution that generates the file.
This all works fine.

However, what I would like is that the 1st app runs the 2nd and then
freezes until it detects that the 2nd app exits. Is this possible?

Excellent thanks! I'll give it a try!

Maybe this can help you, make a app2.bat file underr c:\
in the bat file type: pause
Save the file
then put a button on a form and add this to the forms click event

Shell("c:\app2.bat", AppWinStyle.NormalFocus, True)
MsgBox("App2 finished")

I think this is what you want
