vbscript to launch a vbapp

[MartDawg]

Hi, currently I have a batch file to launch a vb application, the app takes a couple parameters, so my batch file looks like the following...

@ECHO OFF

C:
CD\a directory
someapp.exe param1 "param 2"

My problem is, when the app finishes executing, a message box is displayed.

In vbscript isn't there a way to start an application with the getobject command? If so, can I pass it arguments?

My final question. Is there a way to depress the button on the vbapp with a seperate vbscript? Or is there a way to kill the app efficiently without leaving a memory leak?

Hope this makes sense. Thanks to anybody who replies.

GetObject - I didnt know this one myself, but apparently its for "Automation" objects, which would be OLE and/or COM I think. It would apply to your VB app only IF it has been developed to support it.

For launching any old app:

set WShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
WShell.Run "c:\____\myapp.exe arg1 arg2", 1, True

where arg1,arg2 are command-line arguments if required. You may need embedded quotes "myapp.exe ""arg with space 1""".
