Process.Start Issue

I have a vb.net program that launches other programs and am using process.start to do this. however, i ran into an issue when i launch an excel file that runs a macro on startup. It waits for the macro to run, before moving on to the next line of code in vb.

Here's my code:

Dim filetoOpen As String
Dim instance As New Process

filetoOpen = "I:\Excel_With_Startup_Macro.xls"

If My.Computer.FileSystem.FileExists(filetoOpen) Then

Dim startinfo As New ProcessStartInfo(filetoOpen)
instance = Process.Start(startinfo)

'the code doesn't move to this point until excel is
'finished running it's macro, i need it to open excel and move on
MsgBox("Stop")

'ive also tried just doing this
'Process.Start(filetoOpen)

'....More Code

End If

Anyone have any ideas?
