It's so easy ==>> parameter

[Hansz]

I am using the following shell-command:
Call Shell("c:\winnt\system32\cmd.exe /c c:\test.cmd " & Text1.Text, vbNormalFocus)

It works, but when Text1.Text contains more than one word, it only uses the first word as parameter. I want the entire textfield to be the parameter.

Have you tried enclosing Text1.Text in quotes?

Just a thought.

Paul.

[Hansz]

Yes, I've done that already, but that's the result because I want my parameter without the quotes.

Try appending double quotes (Chr(34) at the begining and end of the whole PathLine: Chr(34) & "c:\..." & text1 & Chr(34). Should do.

Thanx, that work's.
