    Unhappy

    Hello,

    I my current project using VB5 I need to shell to an 16 bit DOS executable. I do this using CreateProcessA. This works under W95 all the time, but under NT 4.0 only when the application is running in the IDE. The Shell function doesn't work either when ran outside the IDE, it gives runtime error 5 then. Normal windowapps are no problem.

    But, when I use VB1 (yes, VisualBasic V1.0) ,there are no problems.
