    This should work
    VB.NET Code:
    1. System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("NameOfFile.bat")

    VB.NET - Save JPEG with a certain quality (image compression) || VB.NET - DragDrop Files, Emails, and Email Attachments

    Please post some of the code you need help with (it makes it easier to help you)
    If your problem has been solved then please mark the thread [RESOLVED].

    You can also use the ProcessStartInfo class when calling process.start() to tell Windows to not create any window when it runs the batch file. This way you won't see the flash of the cmd prompt window when the batch file runs.
