    How to pass a command line argument in VBA?

    Hi all,

    I am using MS office 2003. I want to pass the command line argument through vba code.

    For example,

    I have an application, the command line argument is,

    ABC.exe /s /f

    If I run this command in command prompt it will open that application in silent mode (/s), etc.

    I want to achieve the same thing through vba code.

    How can I do that?

    Thanks in advance.

    It should be something like ...
    VB Code:
    1. Shell "C:\ABC.exe / s / f"
