Program close

[grampalew]

I am writing a "menuing" program that uses the "shell" command to launch apps. I want to know what the latest technique is for determining when the app is exited. I used to be able to do this by launching to app via a batch file that erased a blank file when the program terminated and then using the Dir$ function to test for the file. In the latest versions of Windows, this no longer works. The batch file no longer waits for the program to exit before executing the next line. I'm using VB5.

Thanks

Check If File Exist

'Insert the following code to your form:

Private Sub Form_Load()
'Replace the 'c:\autoexec.bat' with then name of the file (with his path) that
'you want to check his existence
If Dir$(&quot;c:\autoexec.bat&quot <> &quot;&quot; Then
MsgBox (&quot;The file exist&quot
Else
MsgBox (&quot;The file does not exist&quot
End If
End Sub
