I am running a VBA program that runs outside of Catia. But it only accepts the first CNEXT.exe of the Catia. when I run multiple CNEXT.exe at once, how can I run programs besides Catia on all CNEXT.exe I am running.
Hopefully I've explained what I'm trying to do well enough for some blanks to be filled in.
Thank you for your assistance.

This is a well-known limitation.

However, there are workarounds. The easiest one is to make your .NET application COM-visible and to start it from CATIA using a custom button that runs CATScript with CreateObject() call.
 
little Cthulhu! can you show me more please? I'm using visual basic 6.0
 
Then google for "creating COM object in VB6".

If you need ready-to-use solution right away then hire a qualified contractor.
 
besides this way, is there any other way?
 
Besides investing time in learning or money in hiring someone else? No there's not.

There are working code samples at COE and stackoverflow by the way.
