    Help with Shell

    Hello.

    I need to be able to receive the commands that another application sends me when I open the other .exe.

    For example.

    Update.exe

    Call Shell("aplication.exe /NOUPDATE", vbNormalFocus)

    Aplication.exe

    If (Command <> "/NOUPDATE") Then

    Call Msgbox("Not Found" & vbcritical)
    Exit Sub

    Then <= It doesn't work for me.

    How could I do it?

    Can you explain what doesn’t work?

    Where do you check the Command content?

    i think he wants the called exe to feed back some data to his caller
    i do my best to test code works before i post it, but sometimes am unable to do so for some reason, and usually say so if this is the case.
    Note code snippets posted are just that and do not include error handling that is required in real world applications, but avoid On Error Resume Next

    dim all variables as required as often i have done so elsewhere in my code but only posted the relevant part

    come back and mark your original post as resolved if your problem is fixed

    If it works sorry. Do not call the module when loading.
