How can I make the Script wait for ntbackup completion to continue
executioin once that application finishes ?  It just kicks it off and
just exits, leaving the ntbackup runningat the moment.    Here is
how I invoke it.  Thanks in advance.

Bob

    run_date = month(now()) & "_" & day(now()) & "_" & year(now())
    set_desc = "Exchange_" & trim(run_date)
    log_name = "\\server\backups\exchange_daily_" & run_date & ".log"
    RunThis = "ntbackup backup DS \\SERVER IS \\SERVER /a /v /d " & set_desc
& " /b /t Normal /l " & log_name & " /e"
   set WshShell = wscript.CreateObject("wscript.shell")
    iReturn = WshShell.Run( RunThis,0 )
    set WshSell = nothing

iReturn = WshShell.Run( RunThis,0,True )

(see the Run method documentation)...
