    Question

    How can I launch a DOS application from my VB6 application, and get access to the DOS application's return code in VB6?

    TIA,

    Don Goyette

    What do you mean return code? Do you mean the standard output or the PID, or what?

    Shell a .bat file containing i.e:

    dir >file.txt
    Use
    writing software in C++ is like driving rivets into steel beam with a toothpick.
    writing haskell makes your life easier:
    reverse (p (6*9)) where p x|x==0=""|True=chr (48+z): p y where (y,z)=divMod x 13
