In my application, I use the Shell command to Pkzip a file. The next line of code opens the original file. I need to delay that code until the zip app finishes. <br><br>Any suggestions on delaying the code, or is there a way to check if a file is open and loop till it closes? <br><br>Thanks,<br><br>Catrina<br>
