How to run a .vbs from a .bat

Created an extensive batch script program to handle some automated file management and printing and I need to call a vbs file for its sendkeys operation. Is there a way to accomplish this without freezing the program?

I've tried START /WAIT my.vbs and the script freezes when it enters the .vbs

Anyone have other methods or switches you would recommend?

I would like it to run silently if at all possible, and i need the /WAIT switch because I need the sendkeys operation to complete prior to the next step in the batch file.

Create the .vbs file Then open the Batch file and enter START "" "FILE PATH"

EG: Start "" "C:\Users\%Username%\Desktop\Spiritual Aid\Program\2.vbs"

Instead of using START /WAIT my.vbs you could try using cscript //NoLogo //B my.vbs. You can also pass other options to cscript that way.
