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,

VB Code:

Private Sub Command1_Click()
    Shell "c:\test.bat"
End Sub

VB Code:

Private Sub Comand1_Click()
     Shell "c:\mybatch.bat"
End Sub

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.
