    Would there be anyway to get the DOS output back to the VB app?

    You can use > to output the prompt to a file.

    C:\copy c:\file d:\ >output.txt

    ...and Tada!

    Good luck,

    Oh yeah, you can then use the Open/Close to get the output.

    API sendmessage would probably work too.
