>Exactly, him starting an external application, in fact its and other VFP application (.EXE) that is already running on a network. I need the result given by this network application to run my desktop application. I've tried to use the ShellExecute API but I did'nt found any way to make my apps wait until the completion of the network EXE.

One way I've seen others here do it is for the called program to create a file on a shared network drive. The calling program would check for the existence of this file and not allow continued processing until it appears.
