Pick up a copy of Dan Appleman's book on using the Win32 API from VB (he's actually gor several now) - he gives example code that looks similar to the code I use in API_APPRUN to do a launch app and wait using CreateProcess() and a couple of the sync APIs. You'd want to use ShellExecuteEx() to launch the app rather than ShhellExecute(), in order to get back the process handle rather than a pseudohandle that can't be used to check the Win32 task object for temrination.
