Hi,
I shell out from Access a S-Plus process and wait
until it terminates before executing the next statement. I use for that purpose
the code found in the Microsoft Knowledge Base Articles (Q129796); you can also
find similar code at http://www.mvps.org/access/api/api0004.htm
. I tested the code with an Excel process and it works well (my next statement
in Access is executed only when I close Excel). When I try with S-Plus, it
doesn't work: S-Plus opens, the Task Manager shows under the 'Applications' tab
that the S-Plus application is running and Access application is not
responding - waiting for S-Plus to terminate, now I close S-Plus, the Task
Manager does not show anymore the S-Plus application but Access is still
not responding, so it freezes at that point. The Task Manager shows under the
'Processes' tab a process called SPLUS.EXE that is still there. Why? Only when I
end this process manually does Access respond and execute my next
statement.
Anyone has an explanation?
Thank you very
much,
Patrick
