I KNOW I read about how to do this in the help file somewhere. But I can't think of where.

What you could do if noone who knows what I'm remembering posts, do something like

If WinExists ( "title" ) Then

Sleep( delay )

I'm guessing that would pause the script until that window is closed? Sorry if this doesn't help at all , If I remember what I'm thinking about I'll reply.

While ProcessExists("Process Name")

WEnd

RunWait is the command to use, what type of program are you launching ? - If it is an installer program, then the original program you try to run can spawn another program and then exit, then the program that RunWait executed has come to an end.

Disregard my post as rudi's will probably work much better . I'm not sure if thats what I think I was remembering , but I know it will work.
