Another option would be

WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
ReturnCode = WshShell.Run("c:\test.doc", 1, .t.)
MESSAGEBOX("finished")

Notice the messagebox does not appear until you close the word document.



>I need to modify document before send it to fax.

>oWord = createobject("word.application")
>oWord.visible = .t.
>oWord.Documents.Open("MyDocumentToModify")
>**************************
>&& I need to wait here

>release oWord
