Hello Experts,
I am having a problem to run the batch file using Shell() function from inside VB6 application. I've created this application on my Windows XP Pro. PC and it is working perfectly. But after I moved the EXE to the Windows 2000 Server PC, the Shell("Program.BAT",vbMinimaized) line of code stopped working(it does not do anything???). What is going on? I am completely frustrated. Why the standard VB Shell() function does not work on the server PC?

Any suggestions will be appreciated and thanks in advance.

hi

i hv used Shell on both Win XP and Win 2000 Server and it works perfectly

check ur Program.BAT file

When I run the .BAT file by itself from the command line or from the Windows Explorer, it is running perfectly.

If I run this .BAT file from the command line or from the Windows Explorer, it is running perfecly.

Hello there,

just try adding "Doevents()" before the shell command....sometimes it helps....try and do reply abt what happnd...
