Tried this (based upon AI built code):

' Create a WshShell object
Set objShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")

' Specify the path to your batch file
batchFilePath = "C:\path\to\your\batch\file.bat"

' Run the batch file
objShell.Run batchFilePath, 1, True


Will not let me save, gives error that set and let are no longer supported. How can I accomplish this?


Thanks in advance for suggestions.

UPDATE

This alternative script worked!

Dim psi As New ProcessStartInfo("c:\test.bat")
psi.RedirectStandardError = True
psi.RedirectStandardOutput = True
psi.CreateNoWindow = False
psi.WindowStyle = ProcessWindowStyle.Hidden
psi.UseShellExecute = False

Dim process As Process = Process.Start(psi)


Not quite as simple but effective!
