I'm trying to do something simple with a shell - just calling a batch file, and when it finishes, return to the vb code. Only problem is i dont know how to do this. I searched the internet about it, and found something useful here, but i dont know how to use it, cos i'm new to programming. At the moment my code says something like this:

MsgBox "Done!"

Any idea what i have to change this to to make it synchronous?
