shell command

[sumanth]

i'm using -Shellcommand(),vbhide- to run a batch file.The vbhide option lets me get rid of the dos window. And when i run the code , there is a prompt asking me to either maximize, minimize or close the project window...and after i've done one of these the rest of the code is executed.
How do i get rid of this.. maximize, minimize or close..step..and execute the code in one step.
I tried to do away with the -vbhide option- and the code is executed in one step, but i cant get rid of the dos window.
I tried changing the batch file but nothing works out.
help me out.....
