Execute batch and wait

I am trying to execute a batch. I believe I can do this. The only thing is that the batch initiates operations within in a file that will run independently of the batch. I have the code that will execute the batch and pause the rest of the program until the batch is complete but that doesn't help me since it doesn't know when the operations inside the file are complete. The type of file is an Aspentech MIMI case file. The bat file the I am executing within my program will execute the $batch macro inside of the MIMI case file. Does anyone know how to tell when the operation inside of MIMI is complete?
Here is my code thus far which I believe is correct ssince I found it here.

public sub RunBat()
shell "\\BatPath", vbNormalFocus
End Sub

Declare Function WaitForSingleObject Lib "kernel32" (byval hHandle as Long, byval dwMilliseconds as Long) as Long
Declare Function OpenProcess Lib "kernel32" (byval dwDesiredAccess as Long, byval bInheritHandle as Long, byval dwProcessId as Long) as Long

public Const INFINITE = -1

public Sub ShellWait(byval FileName as string, optional WindowStyle as Variant)

Dim idProc as Long
Dim hProc as Long

' start program and save PID
idProc = VBA.Shell(FileName, WindowStyle)
' get process handle
hProc = OpenProcess(PROCESS_ALL_ACCESS, false, idProc)
'wait till program has finished
If hProc <> hNull then
Call WaitForSingleObject(hProc, INFINITE)
Call CloseHandle(hProc)
End If

End Sub

I am also having this problem and could not get solution anywhere. I am not discouraging you but requesting you to please pass the solution if you get.

This supposedly works, but I haven't gotten it to work for me. I think I may be putting the code in the wrong place. Let me know how it works out. I tried putting it into a module and on the form, but neither helps so I'm not sure what else I need. Let me know how it works out.

My fault. I was thinking of something else. That code I just posted is a way to close an application. Which I am still unable to get working. The code I psoted initially is calling something that needs to be declared in a module. Again, I am not sure how and will welcome any suggestions.
