Call a VB Project from another VB Project

hi everyone...

Here, I want to ask is there any probability that one Visual Basic Project
can call another Visual Basic Project while the first one still running? If
that can be done, how it works? Can someone show/give an URL or example?

Thanks in advance.

You can call ActiveX Exe and DLL projects, might be better
is you explaing exactly what your trying to achieve

Shell App.Path & "\JHEKS" & "\prjJheks.exe", vbNormalFocus

Above is what currently i'm doing in my project. But this project i
developed in standard EXE application. Is there any possibility that i can
call another project just like using MDI form? Because, in the application,
the user have to choose their deparment before they can login. But, in this
case, i just found the solution that can call the .exe.. And when they exit
the application, the first running project, still running and have to
manually exit..

Thanks in advance for your advice and i'm appreciate..

It won't be like MDI but here's code that shows how to.....

Wait For a Shelled Process to End Using WaitForSingleObject

Have you considered converting to an MDI app? Basically, place all the code
for that second project in an MDI Child form and just show the form when
needed.
