WScript.Shell Question

There's no Category for VBScript and or WScript or just Windows Scripting, so I'll ask it in here since I use ASP and I think someone here might know.

I'm using:

SET Comm = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
Comm.Run("DOS Command here")

That's the code in my .vbs file for logon script.

Problem, when I run the .vbs file it opens a command prompt window to run the command, but then it leaves it open and contiues the script. Is there a way to close that command window or run the command a different way?

Thanks.

I have not worked with Wscript.. but just a thought...
Set comm = nothing..

Will that close the window/.

you'll need to add a /c parameter in the command lint so that it'll close..

Ok having problems, but I'm trying this out different ways

Thanks, just what I needed. Here's my actual code:

...
...
SET WinEn = Comm.Environment("PROCESS")
ComSpec = WinEn("COMSPEC")
...
...

Function RunMe(COMMAND)
REM Run Shell Command
Comm.Run ComSpec & " /c " & COMMAND, 0, TRUE
End Function

...
...

So this will run my shell commands without showing a window and then it will close the command and the next one won't run until the previous one is done. Great!
Oh even though I used 0 to hide the command window I still have to use /c or it just sits there all day.
