    Wink Running a *.exe from within VB6

    Hi
    I have some basic VB skills which I'm trying to adapt to the real world.
    At the moment I'm writing a proceedure to capture a particular field of Information from an external program(which is working ok),
    but I want to add this Information as a varible parameter in a commanmd prompt executable .
    Is it possible to do this from VB6?

    Command

    The Command function returns a string containing command prompt parameters.

    There is an example on MSDN (not a good one) but it gives the right idea

    You could also try the Shell() command. I've used that to run .exe files from outside VB but I haven't tried passing parameters to the .exe file at the same time but I think it should work...
