Here's my two lines in code:<br />
<br />
intErr = objShell.Run(&quot;cscript.exe &quot;&quot;D:\sample.vbs&quot;&quot;&quot;, 0, True)<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br />
intErr = objShell.Run(&quot;D:\sample.ba<wbr />t&quot;, 0, False)<br />
<br />
I was told the 'True' or 'False' is to tell it whether or not to finish the script before continuing on the 2nd one. &nbsp;However on the first one, I was told it was to 'overwrite' the existing files if they exist. &nbsp;Or am I misled. &nbsp;I need to understand what differences are in the above. &nbsp;I mainly need the first one to complete before it continues to the second one.

Understanding VBS 'True' &amp; 'False' parameters

VBScript (Visual Basic Scripting Edition) is an interpreted scripting language developed by Microsoft that is modeled on Visual Basic, but with some important differences. VBScript is commonly used for automating administrative and other tasks in Windows operating systems (by means of the Windows Script Host) and for server-side scripting in ASP web applications. It is also used for client-side scripting in Internet Explorer, specifically in intranet web applications.

VB Script

Visual Basic is Microsoft’s event-driven programming language and integrated development environment (IDE) for its Component Object Model (COM) programming model. It is relatively easy to learn and use because of its graphical development features and BASIC heritage. It has been replaced with VB.NET, and is very similar to VBA (Visual Basic for Applications), the programming language for the Microsoft Office product line.

The term 'shell' refers to a general class of text-based command interpreters most often associated with the UNIX and Linux operating systems. Popular shells include Bourne, Debian Almquist (dash), Korn (ksh), Bourne Again (bash) and the C shell family (csh). Some view the DOS 'cmd' prompt as a minimal shell of sorts. It is also possible to install Cygwin on Windows and emulate a full Unix environment with complete shell capabilities. Terminal emulators, such as xterm, GNOME Terminal and OS X Terminal, can be used to access shell.
