It worked fine for me, in both cases, using ‘Unload Me’, and ‘End’.

Here are the code snippets:

sProgram = Trim$(txtProgram)
glPid = Shell(sProgram , vbNormalFocus)
Unload Me
sProgram = Trim$(txtProgram)
glPid = Shell(sProgram , vbNormalFocus)
End

I tried ‘Unload me’ after the shell but that closed all instances or rather closed the running exe and didn’t open the shelled program. Meanwjhile, I’ll look at the sample program you pointed to, thanks for your help.
