Waiting for process completion

[Guest]

Ginteras,
Thanks for sticking with me through this - I take it you need a general functional desription.

Procedure
1. If the "RD" file is open as a window, then put filename into a file called heehaw.txt.
2. Call a Word macro to use the file dialog method to get the filename
3. Run a Word macro which reformats the "RD" file to an "SR" file
4. QM opens both RD and SR files (horizontally tiled) and runs a macro which highlights any errors in the RD file

Notes:
The Word macros are set up in the Word main menu bar, however, if there were a way of calling them directly i.e. normal.XMLLib.FileDialog that would be better. Alternatively - do I have to produce a dialog window at the start and end of every Word macro which I would use to synchronize processing?

Thanks, Bob
