We just installed a Batch job queue system which among other things can act one way or the other based on an app's return code. Return codes are common in the mainframe world, but how do I issue a return code from inside a VB app?

Did you ever figure this out? I would be interested in how you did it.

Thanks.
 
To have a VB program issue a return value upon exit, first declare the following API

Private Declare Sub ExitProcess Lib "kernel32" (ByVal uExitCode As Long)

Then in the form unload of the main form

Private Sub Form_Unload(Cancel As Integer)
ExitProcess CLng(<your return value>)
End Sub
Good Luck
