Yes, this is the right place to ask this!!!  There are several VB users
reading this group.

+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

I don't consider myself particularly expert in VB but I'll assume that you
want to include your C object file when you compile and use some kind of
error level checker to verify completion status.  Any of you more experienced
VB users should jump in here and feel free to tell me I'm full of something!

Keith.
