APIs: Démarre et attend la fin d'exécution avant de poursuivre	Author(s) Dev Ashish

(Q) Lorsqu'on démarre une autre application, il ne semble pas qu'Access attende la fin de celle-ci et Access poursuit son exécution VBA. Comment faire pour forcer Access à interrompre son traitement tant que l'application démarrée n'ait terminée?

(A) Couper-coller le code suivant et utiliser la sous-routine Shell.
