Hi All, I'm a newbie in batch programming. I have a situation needs to run vb application within the batch. what is the command for running this? Should i create an .exe to run this? Where my vb application consist of a form and user input. Urgently looking for help. Thanks.

I'm not a VB.net expert, but you have to run your application inside the batch the same way you would start it from the command prompt. Be aware that a batch executes the apps sequentially, i.e. it doesn't go on untill the activated program ends, so to run in parallel mode you have to use the Start command Start "" Pathname_of_Application

Hi Ivo, My batch program was listed below, START "C:\Documents and Settings\Encrytion.exe" However the form doesn't show when i run the *.bat. The system only show the command prompt. Any commands that i miss out? Thanks for the answering my question.

Your program might needs input-value ! so, you have to add as: start ......... %1 %2 %1 means variable 1, %2 for var 2 and so on Mr. Adel

Hi carol kys, START "" "C:\Documents and Settings\Encrytion.exe" You missed the "" after the Start and before the "C:\... so the program path is interpreted as the window's title. That is unknown to the millions but try and you see your form to blow up, almost I hope.

Hi IVO, Yes. U r right, it works perfectly. Thanks alots for ur help. Hi Mr Ade1, Thanks for ur info given as well. Nice days. :)
