I have a .vbs file on my computer that accesses a database and creates a text file of the info in the database. How do i have MATLAB tell this file to run? I tried the open command and all it did was open the script in a MATLAB editor.
Also, I have attempted accessing the database with the Database Toolbox but that has given me issues. I am attempting running the .vbs file as a work around for the time being.

Possibly:
system(sprintf('cscript.exe "%s"', 'c:\full\path\to\your\script');
Considering that vbs scripts tend to just contain calls to activex (COM) objects which matlab can also do, you may as well rewrite the script in matlab. It's more maintainable in the long run.
