How do you make VBS wait until a process/application is done? 1

[emo]

I have no problems starting a process or application using the tips I got from this Forum.<br><br>But I need a VBScript, where the script continues after the process is done. But it has to wait until the proces is done.<br><br>This is what I thought of:<br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<i>While &lt;process is running&gt;<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&lt;Do nothing&gt;<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Wend<br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&lt;then continue doing something more&gt;</i><br><br>What I need is the function, that checks whether the process is running.<br><br>Or is there another way to do it?<br><br>Thanks<br> <p>Emil Mourier<br><a href=mailto: > </a><br><a href= > </a><br>

I solved the problem myself.<br><br>It turns out, that the <i>object.run method</i> has a parameter called <b>bWaitOnReturn</b>. All I had to do, was to set this parameter to <b>TRUE</b>.<br><br>My problem was that I didn't know, that the <i>Run Method</i> was a part of <i>Windows Script Host</i>, NOT <i>VBScript</i>.<br><br>More information on the <i>Run Method</i> on:<br><A HREF="
