Batch file hang

I'm having a problem with running a program in a batch file. The batch file starts the program but then hangs waiting for it to complete. I need the batch file to continue on with other tasks. I haven't been able to find a way to do that. I sure would appreciate any suggestions.

You need to use the Start command to enable multitasking execution of processes. Type Start /? to get a short overview of its parameters, but to just run a program while the batch goes on code
Start "" [Path_Name]Program_Name parameters
I suggest you don't miss the "" otherwise if you have to embrace the PathName with " nothing works.
