Hi Daniel,
By return code do you mean what is set when you do something like an "exit
0;" or "exit 15;"
I don't know if there is anything in CREATEPROCESS (or for that matter in
MPE) that will check that. If that is what you want to check, you will
probably have to do something like set an environment variable and check the
environment variable in the father process when the son is complete.
It's been a while since I've done any programming involving CREATEPROCESS.
Hope this helps,
Bruce
