Starting a Program from Notes and Waiting for It to Finish
02/08/2000
At times, you might find it useful to start a program from Notes and wait for the program to finish. For example, when a user must complete a task in a non-Notes application before a Notes app can continue, such as creating a spreadsheet in Excel that a Notes application will use. Note that although the following sample code works under Win32, you could adapt it for other operating systems. The code below starts a program in Notes and waits for it to finish.

'Execute the given path

'Disable this app until the shelled one is done

RetVal = CloseHandle(proc.hProcess)
End Sub
