Dear All
I need to run a paging programmer application inside my Visual Basic 6, application,
I am using Shell command as below;

dim retVal
retVal = Shell ( "C:\Programminh\...\Elf.exe",vbMaximizedFocus)
AppActivate retVal

The application runs perfect but the problem is, when the application lauch, it can not find parallel port. But when I run the application out of my VB6 application, It works fine,

I know there is another command in VB6 to launch external application but I can not remember,

Can anybody help me please,

Regards

Behnam
