Visual Basic, Run a batch file from VB app.

Run a batch file from VB app.

Tech Suppor #1 / 2	Run a batch file from VB app. Ok, I must be a real newby here, I just can't get a very simple project to work... All I am trying to do is create a very simple VB form that has a button to click which exits the VB form and runs a batch file. That's it, but I keep getting errors. Was trying the SHELL command but it does not like .BAT files, and the SHELLEXECUTE I haven't made work yet either... Is there a very simple way to click a button and run a BATCH file? I have written several VB simple apps but this little snag has me puzzled... Thanks for any help!

Doug Ros #2 / 2	Run a batch file from VB app. The simple way is to make ShellExecute work! It spawns batch files no problem. Tell us what the return value of ShellExecute is and also show the code that calls it. Also, stop posting to those other groups that don't exist. At least they don't for me, and I don't think my news server is missing something... Maybe I'm wrong.
