Newbie needs help (making scripts wait for apps to end)
Try this. Use the Wait On Return option in your Run method. Set it to True
(False is default). Your script should not continue until you exit your
app.
Put the following code in a file and try it. You should not get the message
box until after you close Notepad.
Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
Return = WshShell.Run("notepad " & WScript.ScriptFullName, 1, TRUE)
WScript.Echo "end"
