ShEll?

Dont you hate it when you figure something out and the next day when you try to do it again you cant!!! he he he.
That's my problem...
I m trying to use the shell command to open my clipboard (win98) ....here's the syntax

Private Sub Command1_Click
Shell "C:\Programs\accessories\clipboard.exe"
End Sub Can Anyone tell me what am doing wrong?

Thanks :0)

End Sub

What error do you get. I can get it work the way you have it (with the change in the path of Clipboard exe file - make sure you have it right)

Code:

---

'//Looks like this on my machine
Shell "C:\windows\Clipbrd.exe"

---

The error i would get is "file not found"....
Do i have to specify the entire filepath? or can i just type it in this way for the clipboard

Shell "c:\windows\clipboard.exe"?

thanks.

Since that worked yesterday, maybe you actually lost your file.

Sounds like you've screwed the path to me!

Your path looks like the start menu position.

Mine's in C:\windows\system32\clipbrd.exe

So this software of yours should search for it before using it otherwise it won't work on many systems.

OR

as it's only 100k distrute another copy in the app path.
potentially dangerous I suppose but I wouldn't hard code that path.

maybe you just spelled clipbrd.exe "Clipboard.exe" and it's not there.
