Why can't you just have one script instead of 2? I am sure you can try workarounds to accomplish what you're asking, but if you can incorporate all the functionality into one...why not?

Hi
dm4ever
main.vbs shows progress bar for other script. So i want progress bar to get new value from other script at specific interval.
Basically both script running at same time. Main script watching for chnages in variable and then showing status for other script.

Thank you.

You could probably have the second script write values to a file or registry key and have the main script read those values. You might also try executing the second script using the Exec method of WScript.Shell, have the second script write it status using WScript.StdOut and have the main script read those values.
