Closing batch script after .exe is called

Hey, I've got a littl batch script that backs up some files for me, and the last line opens up Outlook with the CALL command:

CALL "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\OUTLOOK.EXE"

The Problem is, the batch script wants to wait till OUTLOOK.EXE has finished executing before it runs the rest of the script, which means it sits there till I close outlook. Can I have it open up oulook, then continue on with the rest of the script as if that command had finished?

Thanks.
