Shelling it with the output redirected to a file might work. x% = Shell("c:\command.com /c theapp.exe >result.txt") Jens -- * Everything I said are the opinions of someone else. * * I just cut-and-pasted. * Jens Balchen jr. http://www.sn.no/~balchen

Have the DOS program output to a file, eg. DIR . > c:\knownfn.txt. If this doesn't work, you can sometimes redirect the output by using a batch file. If you can't get this to work, post a followup with which DOS program you're running or more info about it's output. -- Systems Analyst WWW: http://www.phoenix.net/~getj

I do it this (complex) way, but it works: VB program shells PIF-file PIF-file runs BAT-file : XXX.EXE > INFO.TXT VB program reads INFO.TXT Bye, Paul.
