title: How to run a .vbs from a .bat
body: <p>Created an extensive batch script program to handle some automated file management and printing and I need to call a vbs file for its sendkeys operation.  Is there a way to accomplish this without freezing the program?</p>
  
  <p>I've tried <code>START /WAIT my.vbs</code> and the script freezes when it enters the .vbs</p>
  
  <p>Anyone have other methods or switches you would recommend?</p>
  
  <p>I would like it to run silently if at all possible, and i need the <code>/WAIT</code> switch because I need the <code>sendkeys</code> operation to complete prior to the next step in the batch file.</p>
