Is there a way to get an exit code from a VB . exe file?

Sub Main() does not return a value (only Functions return a value in VB).

It is possible to call "ExitProcess" in the Kernel, but that shuts everything down!

What do you mean by "everything down". If you call ExitProcess it will end your exe process and set the return code.

If you are talking about a VBScript macro run in 24x7 Scheduler do not use ExitProcess because this will terminate the scheduler. Instead use RaiseError method to signal an error.

Perhaps you should leave the coding up to the developers ?

Mr C - I'm sure you needed help at some point. Perhaps Mr. Johns wants to make his own program because developers do not have what he wants.

Anyway...I know if you use "Unload FORMNAME", it will unload the form.
Not sure about any child forms...if they were part of a program.

I'm having the same difficulty.
I'm writing a console application that requires
the application to return a value to the calling
program - in this case, the OS (batch file, etc.)
I've been searching the web and some VB books
for a few days now and I
can't find any information on how to do this.
If anyone comes across anything, please post
or email me directly.

Oh, and by the way, Mr. C, I AM a professional,
senior developer. Just because someone doesn't know
how to do something isn't an excuse to get snotty.

When in your console application code you do "exit([my code here])" that's the exit code of your program returned to the calling process - in your case, the OS (batch file, etc.).

For more info please see any C/C++ handbook or system-programming manual.

By the way, in VB you cannot write a true console application. You can create a GUIless application, but this is not exactly the same thing.

In VB declare use Windows API function ExitProcess. Here is the copy/paste from Windows SDK docs.

The ExitProcess function ends a process and all its threads.

VOID ExitProcess(

UINT uExitCode // exit code for all threads
);
