    Question Closing A DOS Window after running a batch file.

    Hi there,

    I found the tip on Vb-World about using FindWindow to close a DOS window after running an .exe file with Shell().

    But this doesn't work if you run a batch (.bat) file. Does anyone have a method I can use in this case?

    I'd really appreciate any help you could offer.

    Kind regards,

    Eight

    This is kinda hokey, but if you know the caption of the DOS window, you could use App.Activate, and SendKeys to send "Exit" and enter.

    the last line of your batch file must be an "exit"...
