I trying to write a VB program to FTP some files and I came across the script on the above website. I seem to be having a problem with this piece of code:

' Invoke Directory List generator
Shell (strDirectoryList & ".bat"), vbHide '', vbMinimizedNoFocus

No matter what I do I receive the error:
Error message: "Run-time Error 5 - Invalid Procedure Call or Argument"

My bat file and txt file all have correct detail (as far as I can tell).

I am running VB 6.3

I finally figured it out... The problem was due to the path and the fact that it had spaces. Once I changed the path to something w/o spaces the shell command worked fine!
