 Calling another app in from a VB3.0 app

I want to call/start another application from within a VB3.0
application, and I would like the host application to wait for the
called application to complete before it continues.

The WinEXEC API call will start the app, but it won't wait for
completion. Any way to do this easily in VB3.0??

Please email me as well as posting responses here.

Thanks for the help!

Right this way, Sir. Where to? The Knowledge Base, of course:
