   steen,   
   the windows API call   
       WaitForSingleObject   
   waits for a process before continuing.   
      
   not exactly trivial as there is a few structures and other API calls:   
   CreateProcessA, Closehandle etc.   
   plenty of examples on the net (google for "WaitForSingleObject Visual   
   Basic")   
      
   if you cant find anything suitable I'll dig out some code.   
      
   HTH   
   Al.   
      
   VB declare:   
   Public Declare Function WaitForSingleObject Lib "Kernel32" (ByVal hProcess   
   As Long, ByVal dwMilliseconds As Long) As Long
