Return value from VB EXE

[CIDU]

I am calling a VB exe from another applciation, the EXE opens a word document and then do some formatting job. I need to have a return from the EXE, eg. return 1 shows successful, 0 shows failure to do the formatting. Someone says using : Private Declare Sub ExitProcess Lib "kernel32" (ByVal uExitCode As Long), Call ExitProcess(1)
But it's still not working for me, always return 0. Any comments will be much appreciated

Can't you use an ASCII, INI file or even the registry to
push values to Word?

This way, y don't have to go through the
API hassle, eventhough this should be possible.

Thanks for the reply
I am trying to return this value from this EXE back to another applciation, in this case, PeopleSoft App Engine.
Can you explain a little detail about how to use INI file for this case.

How to pull the value in Word from VBA, once the
value is pushed from a VB.exe to an INI file is rather simple.
This *was* yr inital question...

But y're now refering to a PeopleSoft application, needing to
pick up the value pushed from VB ...?
I'm lost here ...

As to how to proceed in this situation:
Y'll have to ask the Application Manager of the PeopleSoft application
whether this application is able to pick up values stored in ASCII- or INI
files....
