If the native SHELL command won't do what you need, you can use the Win32 API call CreateProcess() to launch an application visibly or invisibly and track when it terminates; there's an excellent example of how to use this in Daniel Appleman's Visual Basic Programmer's Guide to the Win32 API in Chapter 14; there's a vb progrject Launch.vbp included on the CD that contains sample source code that can be used to launch and track applications.
