When I run a dos program from VB and then follow it with a doevents, it doesn't seem to really work. It appears it just continues with execution before the dos program is finished...

Call Shell ("hlnet use w: \\@two\c-drive",vbMinimizedNoFocus)
Doevents

And that doesn't seem to work. Any suggestions?

Thanks :eek:)

You need to use the WaitForSingleObjectEx API and then use the process handle that is returned from the Shell command. - Jeff Marler B-)
