Dear netters,

Now I don't know if this is the right place to ask this but I have
a problem with the shell command in visual basic. Maybe this question
has already been answered. My problem is this. We have a C application
(non-windows) which we want to run from a friendly front end written in VB. 
The C program returns a status value when it exits indicating whether all
went well or not. How does one obtain this return 
value if the C program is called from VB. The shell command returns the
task number. I also assume that both the C program and VB will be running
in parallel so how does one know when the C application has completed?

Thanks
Herb
