Running batch file

Hi,

I'm programming in excel, that after certain time (like 1 hour), excel runs batch file "name.bat", which runs another file "name.vbs". This file "name.vbs" is used as a message box with some certain information.

However when excel runs "name.bat" file, first of all I see a black screen (MS DOS) and after it closes only then I see message box. Is it possible to write some command in batch file that no black screen would be shown, no MS DOS would be seen?
