Shell cmd not working
The following Shell command does nothing when executed:
x = Shell("net user /domain xyz >c:\mydocs\valid\lanuserho
If I execute the same command via bat file it works:
x = Shell("c:\mydocs\valid\Lan
The test.bat file contains:
net user /domain xyz >c:\mydocs\valid\lanuserho
exit
Although it is executed in an Access module, I figured the VB code area would be a better place to post question. Any ideas?
