Agreed. However both programs also serve other purposes.

My brief explanation about the design requires more clarification:
The automationserver, once initially started from the main application, runs
independend in the background and at certain intervals (via a timer) it 
launches
the thirdparty program. This downloads a substantial amount of (stockmarket) 
data
to a file, whose content is subsequently processed by the automationserver.
After completion, the automationserver notifies the main application who 
takes
further care of the data.
So the main application (though fully blocked during the execution of the 
thirdparty
program) is not the 'caller' but the automation server (also blocked) is.

Anyhow the problem is solved by applying Bob Gonders suggestion.

Thanks,
Wiebe
