Synchronous execution using shell function

Hi,

I can start my external application using the shell command and after about
15s it generates a txt file which I then want to process in Excel. How do I
make Excel wait for the application to terminate before processes the code
after the shell command.

Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Chris
