Hello ,

I want to run this DOS command line using VB.

set IMODE=c:\tng0~2\bin
mode -u=username -p=password -m=normal

I used to manually run it in DOS Commmand. I want to run this from my VB program but I don't have any clue.
Your help is very appreciate

Thank you in advance.

You can use the shell command for this. (I am assuming you are using vb 6.0).

shell("set IMODE=c:\tng0~2\bin mode -u=username -p=password -m=normal") will do this.

I don't remember the exact syntax. There are some other parameters also to be passed. One of them is whether it should execute in the background (the dos window is not shown).

HTH,

As an alternative, I put the commanda in a batch file and am trying to run it as follows :

Dim sCmdLine As String
sCmdLine = "C:\test.bat"
Call Shell(sCmdLine, AppWinStyle.NormalFocus)

I am getting "Object required error"

Please can you suggest how I can execute this batch file ?

Thanks in Advance
Vidya

Dim dblRetVal As Double, sCmdLine as String

sCmdLine = "C:\test.bat"
dblRetVal = Shell(sCmdLine, vbNormalFocus)
