Hello folks,
I've developed a program that starts with "Application.Visible = False" then proceeds to execute the regedit application via the shell method <Shell "C:\WINDOWS\REGEDIT.EXE C:\RESTRICT.REG", vbNormalFocus. It then reboots the PC. Problem is the reboot overrides a necessary prompt/response from the regedit application. That is, I need to respond to two prompts from the regedit application before rebooting the PC. Is there a way I can force the reboot to wait for these prompts and responses? Thanks. Kevin |

Problem solved
A search of "wait external application" returned the following from Ivan F Moala This may be of use (Also includes a few other links http://www.xcelfiles.com/VBA_01.html#anchor_1 Thanks Ivan. ----- Kevin wrote: ---- Hello folks I've developed a program that starts with "Application.Visible = False" then proceeds to execute the regedit application via the shell method <Shell "C:\WINDOWS\REGEDIT.EXE C:\RESTRICT.REG", vbNormalFocus.

You can run regedit in silent mode--to suppress all the messages.
I found this in a google search: http://www.ntcompatible.com/thread26615-1.html REGEDIT [/L:system] [/R:user] [/v|-v] [/s|-s] filename1 REGEDIT [/L:system] [/R:user] /C filename2 REGEDIT [/L:system] [/R:user] /E filename3 [regpath] /L:system Specifies the location of the System.dat file. /R:user Specifies the location of the User.dat file. [/v|-v] This switch opens REGEDIT.EXE in advanced mode, where the registration database is displayed in a tree structure (similar to the tree window in Windows 3.1 File Manager). Any part of the database can be edited. [/s|-s] When a filename is specified on the command line, this switch is used to suppress any informational dialog boxes that would normally be displayed. This is useful when the Setup program for an application wants to execute REGEDIT.EXE with a .REG file, but does not want the user to be confused by any dialog boxes that are displayed. filename1 Specifies the file(s) to import into the registry /C filename2 Specifies the file to create the registry from. /E filename3 Specifies the file to export the registry to. regpath Specifies the starting registry key to exportfrom. (Defaults to exporting the entire registry). Syntax for Switches Either "/" or "-" can be used to signify the optional switches. The switches can be combined (for example, -vs) and be typed in either uppercase or lowercase. Unrecognized switches are ignored.
