Good day everone,

I'm writing a HTA that will run several cmd-files. However, certain cmd I
will not allowed to run at the same time. E.g. n03.cmd must be finished
before n08.cmd is allowed to be launched.
How can this be achieved?

I fixed it right the first time.
It must have failed for other reasons.

Use the WSHShell.Exec method instead or WSHShell.Run. This will let
you check for process completion.

Hope that helps.

Mark,
thanks for your reply.
I found the following code:
'---------
Dim WshShell, oExec
Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
Set oExec = WshShell.Exec("calc")
Do While oExec.Status = 0
WScript.Sleep 100
Loop
WScript.Echo oExec.Status
'---------

I replaced the "WScript.Echo" with "Msgbox", since HTA does not seem to like
WScript things.
However I do not get the "WScript.Sleep 100" to work. WScript thingy again.
I tried "iTimerID = window.setInterval("RunScript", 5000, "VBScript")" to no
avail.
Any hints?
