How can I run more than one process at a time

[cal555]

Hi,
I am woundering if this is possable, and if so how I might be able to to do this.
I want , in my VB code, kick off a stored Procedure, adn while this is runing the program goes on to the next step.
You see this procedure runs quite a number of steps and as it proceeds through each step it will update a table. mean while I want my Vb code to go on and check this table, and send a mess age back to the user when each step is done.
something like this, if this can happen

Run GetCustListForEachState

' Go On to the next line and every 5 sec. Check the value of log table, while the GetCustList is runing.

Any ideas would really be appreciated.
Than You

yes, there are ways to do this. Read up on asynchronous communication between objects.

Thank You I will look into this.

Also, ActiveX EXE's are by definition out of process. As such, if you instantiate an ActiveX EXE from an application, you actually run a new exe, ergo a new process.
