Hi All

I am writing a batch file which calls an .HTA file, which promts a user for
input. Once the user has finiished inputting the information I need it to
then return to the batch file and complete. Problem is that the hta file
executes and brings up the window, however the batch file completes its
execution in the background.

I have tried using the start /wait , but because the hta file is not really
a program it immediately goes back to the batch file.

Any insight or help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance
LT

This works fine for me:

start /wait mshta.exe F:\hta\commandshlp.hta
