Craig, yes Paul is correct.
Its my understanding that createstatus is the launch code and not the 
actual return code. So the execution would go something like this:
CREATEPROCESS
check createstatus to see if it the new process started
ACTIVATE
somehow check to see if the process is over and what the return code was.

I dont know how to check for the process' completion and its return code.


Thank you for your help,
Dan
