Hi ,

When i use the shell function to call the external exe, i find that
shell command will not break when i call the external exe and it will
continue to execute next command line. So, my question here is, i just
want to execute the next command line after i close the external exe
which are call by shell function.

is it possible for me to do it??

following is my sample code

Private Sub Command1_Click()
Shell "d:\External.exe"
MsgBox "Testing"
End Sub

thanks in advance.
