Go to the the directory where you have the ".bat" file by executing this command:

C:\Users\MyName\Desktop\ProjectsWork\FlaskApplication> cd env\Scripts

Then just call the ".bat" file

\Desktop\ProjectsWork\FlaskApplication\env\Scripts> activate.bat

(env) C:\Users\MyName\Desktop\ProjectsWork\FlaskApplication\env\Scripts>

If you want to use your environment in batch file then

call C:\ProgramData\Anaconda3\Scripts\activate.bat C:\ProgramData\Anaconda3

All the following command will be executed in virtual environment

If you want to activate your virtual environment after running:

virtualenv env

Just run:

env\Scripts\activate

This command will provide you the correct path and the command "source" is not necessary.
