Hello all,

I've made a small script which uses "wscript.run" to open a few folders, a 
console window and open a datafile (implicitily running its executable). 
Each of those steps is seperated by a sleep of half a second.  The script is 
manually started (by doubleclicking it).

The thing is that /sometimes/ the datafile step fails, and all I hear is a 
single beep.    I would like to know what causes it to fail, and what I can 
do against it.

Regards,
Rudy Wieser
