I do not know your skill-level, so try this...
'[--- START of Time_card.VBS ---]
Option Explicit
On Error Resume Next
Dim WSHShell, msg, MyBox, j
Set WSHShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
'Run your "time card" program
' just copy the "Target:" of the shortcut
' to your Time_card_Program.EXE
' to the .run line as follows...
' WshShell.Run ("C:\Path\to\your\Time_card_Program.exe /switches_if_any")
WshShell.Run ("<---copy-of-shortcut-Target:--->")
'<-- START of OPTIONAL Alert Box -->
'-- Output message for dialog box
msg = "1. Do something" & vbCR
msg = msg & "2. ---Do something else---" & vbCR
' Either delete previous line or copy line,
' and/or modify "---Do something else---"
j = "Time card Program"
MyBox = MsgBox (msg, 0, j)
'<-- END of OPTIONAL Alert Box -->
Set WshShell = Nothing
'[--- END of Time_card.VBS ---]
