you can do that using WINDOWS Scripting Host object(WSH). Look for its usage from miicrosoft's site or try google search.

Cheers!

Server.CreateObject("wscript.shell") creates an independent thread where as my requirement is to execute 2 exe one by one (fist exe output is input for the second exe) not both at a time.
Pl help.

Hi Rekha,

The third parameter of the shells run method decides whether to wait for the program spawned to terminate. Setting this to true should do what you want.

HTH,

hi Chris

should I write like this
Set objShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
objShell.Run "xyz.exe",true

Hi Rekha,

The second parameter is window style of the program, assuming you don't want to see it, you need...

Code:

objShell.Run "xyz.exe", 0, True

HTH,

Chris
