I do not know, what is "better", here are a couple of examples from my working applications:

oShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
oShell.Run(FTP_BATFile)

There is also Public Function Shell(...)

Shell(DataSrcDir & "sunmail.cmd " & Session_Err_emailFile & " > " + DataSrcDir + "sunmail_dlrcost.log")


Good Luck
