Shell Execute Issue Shuts down both Apps

Hello:

I have a scenario where I’m using a Timer to check for a certain condition. If that condition is met, I use the Shell object to run another application. So far, all of that works.

Here’s where I could use some assistance:

After calling Shell.Execute, I want my desktop app to quit, however the other application still needs to continue running. Currently, when I call the Quit command, BOTH my desktop app and the 3rd party application closes.

Any thoughts?

Essentially, here’s what I’m wanting:

Desktop App 1 starts App 2.
Desktop App 1 shuts down.
App 2 keeps running.
