Private Declare Sub ExitProcess Lib "kernel32" _
(ByVal uExitCode As Long)
Be careful using it as it is a very abrupt termination. Make sur eyou have
unloaded all forms, closed all files and done all cleanup first. You should
also avoid calling it when running in the IDE since it will kill your VB
session without saving.

and remember to use
start /wait VBProgram.exe
in your batch file, so that it actually /waits/ for the VB program to
/finish/ before sampling the return value.
