>pls see the command I am using in my application, this is working fine, but the problem is before completing the process(imrun.exe) the statement " wait wind 'Done'" is executing. to solve this problem I did lot of search in user forums, as the result I got a thread FAQ ID: 7789 from universaltheard.com written by Mr.Ed Rauh. I thought of using his codes to solve my problem, But even then I am not getting what I want. I am sure that class is capable of doing this , somewhere I am doing something wrong, pls see the code I have written to utilize Ed Rauh's class(after the '*****'). My requirement is to execute the statement 'Wait Wind 'Done'" only after the exit of imrun.exe.

To run programs synchronously (e.g. wait until the other one ends), I use Windows Script Host.
See: http://fox.wikis.com/wc.dll?Wiki~WindowsScriptingHost

Something like:

#define SW_SHOW_NORMAL 1
#define SW_SHOW_MINIMIZED 2
#define SW_SHOW_MAXIMIZED 3
oShell = createobject("WScript.Shell")
oShell.Run("C:\Program Files\Microsoft Business Solutions\Integration Manager\imrun.exe /i ScEvaInv",SW_SHOW_NORMAL,.T.)
