batch files won't close in WIN98 2

[biot023]

Hallo again.
I have a program that creates & runs a number of batch files invisibly with ShellExecute.
My problem is, it keeps crashing in Windows 98 (it's fine in NT), as the batch files won't close.
There is a setting you can apply to individual batch files that makes them close on completion, but this is no good in this case.
Does anyone know how to make a batch file self-closing, or of a setting in 98SE that allows all batch files to close?

Help very much needed!

Cheers,
Douglas JL

Hello

Edit the batch file, add 2 extra lines at the end

So this will run the MS Calculator and then exit

Calc.exe
echo off
cls

send me an example batch file and Ill see what I can do.

I didnt know that there was any body still running
batch files. I use them so much that I made a batch
file editor for windows. I have never had a problem
with a batch file closing. just the oposite. I have to
add pause to veiw the results if the batch file processes
to quickly.

you might try the system function to call the
batch file.

system ("test.bat"

I was trying to find this thread the other day to update it.
I got an answer from a nice chap in the WIN98 forum that did the job - & that agrees with BTecho's answer.
If you set echo off & end with cls, the batch file closes nice as pie.
I'll have to try the system() function, too.
Cheers, everyone.
