Dear All,

If I have 2 vb executables ExeA and ExeB. ExeA opens ExeB using the the
shell command.

How can I ensure that ExeB is opened modally to exeA so the user cannot
select ExeA?

Thanks again.

Douglas Marquardt,

Thanks for the link. Exactly what I was looking for. I didn't realise that
it would require API calls to achieve the aim.

I appreciate your help.
