Default return values

When called by another app via ShellExecute do Outlook and OE return a value
when the email is despatched?
If so how does the calling app retrieve that value?
Thanks to anyone who can provide me with this information.

I'm not 100% sure but I'd say no since ShellExecute typically only returns a
value once upon termination of the called application.

Thanks Vince. That is helpful. I had been thinking that ShellExecute
returned a value when it launched the application successfully.

I think you can tell ShellExecute to wait until the app exits. At least you
can in some implementations.
