The following routine will allow you to call another program from LotusScript, wait for that program to finish and continue running your script. The Yield example in Designer help uses an obsolete API call. To illustrate this routine, create a new form and add a hotspot button. Add the code below to your button.
Code
\"Put this code in the declarations section Declare Function GetActiveWindow Lib \"user32.dll\" () As Long Type SHELLEXECUTEINFO cbSize As Long fMask As Long hwnd As Long lpVerb As String lpFile As String lpParameters As String lpDirectory As String nShow As Long hInstApp As Long lpIDList As Long lpClass As String hkeyClass As Long dwHotKey As Long hIcon As Long hProcess As Long End Type
