    Post VB file question

    building an interface to a perl program and have the following requirements.

    Batch file on NT starts the perl program. This batch file changes regularly so I have created interface to make this file taking inputs from my vb form.

    Now... I am stumped on how to execute this .bat from within vb using a command button to run the batch file.

    Any suggestions, code samples would be helpful.

    Thanks,

    Thanks

    I ended up using App_path and shell together.

    I was doing something wrong with the shell for some reason and couldn't get it to work.
