[AccessD] DoEvents - How should this command be used in Access?

Thanks Gustav, I tried this back when it was posted and had no luck.
I'll give it another go. Thanks

Hi Jim

You could use ShellWait to pause the code until the batch file quits:

I have a similar issue where I shell out to run a bat file and then kill
the bat file. The problem is Access continues to run and sometimes
attempts to kill the file before it has finished running generating an
error. I put in a timing loop but this strikes me as a little klutzy. Is
there a better way? TIA

varAns = Shell(strBatfile)  'run bat file to load prn file to AS400
    Batfile = True
    varTime = TimeSerial(Hour(Now()), Minute(Now()), Second(Now()) + 3)
    Application.Wait varTime
    Kill strBatfile
    Kill strCmdfile
