Command line: Start/wait: Proper way to use it

Hello
 
What is the proper way to use "Start/wait"   I need Hypersnap to take a window snap then save before the next command to open the file is activated
 
At the moment, Hypersnap try to open the file before the snap was taken.  How could I code to have Hypersnap to wait until the snap process is finished before going to try opening the new file
 
Martin
 
Snap:
retval = Shell(("C:\Program Files (x86)\HyperSnap 7\HprSnap7.exe " & " -newwin -snap:window -save:png " & LocationOfTheChart ))
 
Open the file
 If shiftkey(True) Then retval = Shell(("C:\Program Files (x86)\HyperSnap 7\HprSnap7.exe -wait -Open:" & SnapFileName))

    I believe that your Shell commands may not be correct, because there are spaces in the path to HyperSnap 7 executable. Consult your programming language (Visual Basic or something?) for a correct way of handling such situations.
     
    It is not necessary to first save the snap, then open it with another command. If you execute something like:
     
    HprSnap7.exe -snap:window
     
    the window selection will be executed, and then what you captured will be automatically opened in HyperSnap 7.
