I have code, which calls a shell command, this in turn
activates a third party programme to export dbase tables
from an outside application. If I allow the export to
complete which can take two to three minutes the code
continues to run and falls over as the dbase tables are
required for subsequent query's etc further on in the
procedure. I can overcome this by placing a message box
immediately after the shell command, this activates
immediately but does not become visible until the does
window opened by the shell command closes. Although this
works it would be far cleaner if the code following the
shell command was paused until the dos window closes.

Is this possible?
