That sounds like a great solution...thank you! My win API knowledge is
weak, but I'll give it a try. Thanks again.

You could spawn pg_dump via CreateProcess and call
WaitForSingleObject() on the handle that CreateProcess
returns in a worker thread. When the Wait() function
returns, you can then call GetExitCodeProcess() on the
same handle to get the process exit code.
Just a thought.
