The earlier solution could present a problem.
1) MB will continue executing when windoze acknowledges that app has
actually started
2) VB may not have created the text file in time before MB code continues
FIX) put file creation in MB before calling VB and then let VB kill the
file.
IN VB Form.Unload
IF FileExists("c:\AppIsRunning.txt") then KILL "c:\AppIsRunning"
......finish closing vb app
IN MB code
Open File "c:\AppIsRunning.txt" for output as #1
print #1, ""
Close File #1
'''''' launch VB app #1
DO WHILE FileExists("c:\AppIsRunning.txt")
LOOP
Open File "c:\AppIsRunning.txt" for output as #1
print #1, ""
Close File #1
'''''' launch VB app #2
DO WHILE FileExists("c:\AppIsRunning.txt")
LOOP

Subject: MI-L MI:How to detect when a user closes a program from mapbasic
Hello list,
If I launch a VB program from within MapBasic, is it possible to determine
when the user closes the program?
I need to wait for this program to run and then launch another one.
Thanks in advance,
