[Solved] Make Word Merge asynchronous (Read 565 times)

	When Word Merge opens a new Word document, I cannot toggle back to Sesame without first closing the Word document (the Sesame toolbar is there but the rest of the screen is completely white). Any ideas?

	Word is opened with @Shell in the version of WordMerge that you are running. @Shell starts another program from Sesame and waits for the program to close before the rest of the Sbasic can run. Not a bug at all, just the way that @Shell works. If you look in the samples included with Sesame 2.X you will see one named WordMerge_MkVII.DB. In the Word Merge programming in that application on line 212 you will see an example of using @ASynchShell(), which starts the external program(In this case word) asynchronous to Sesame. This allows them to both be open at the same time. -Ray
