<div>
Shell(&quot;App.exe &quot;&nbsp;+ &nbsp;Text1, 1) <br />

</div>

Proper syntax for what you want is to predfine the commands outside of the shell command line or VB will trip out and puke:<br />
<br />
'Besure to add a extra space with last &nbsp;&quot; to space the Text1 input out<br />
EX = &quot;App.exe &quot;&nbsp;&amp; Text1<br />
'Then go ahead and Shell as:<br />
<br />
Shell(EX, 1) <br />
<br />

'Besure to add a extra space with last  " to space the Text1 input out
EX = "App.exe " & Text1
'Then go ahead and Shell as:

Shell(EX, 1)

Two Questions: 1) Is it possible with the Shell command to allow command line<br />
arguments to be taken from a Textbox? Example: Shell(&quot;App.exe &quot;Text1&quot;, 1) <br />
Text1 being user input data to be added to the Shell command line. I noticed <br />
that Shell command won't read it?<br />
<br />
2) I like a reliable method for dialing &amp;&nbsp;monitoring the winsock connection 98/NT <br />
and if lost, redial any number of times till the connection is re-established. While <br />
the connection is active, ping every 5 mins incase of inactivity to prevent premature disconnection.<br />
<br />
Looking forward to a wonderful reply from one of you VB guru's.

A programming language is a formal constructed language designed to communicate instructions to a machine, particularly a computer. Thousands of different programming languages have been created, mainly in the computer field, and many more still are being created every year. The description of a programming language is usually split into the two components of syntax (form) and semantics (meaning). Some languages are defined by a specification document (for example, the C programming language is specified by an ISO Standard), while other languages (such as Perl) have a dominant implementation that is treated as a reference. Some languages have both, with the basic language defined by a standard and extensions taken from the dominant implementation being common.

Programming Languages-Other

Visual Basic is Microsoft’s event-driven programming language and integrated development environment (IDE) for its Component Object Model (COM) programming model. It is relatively easy to learn and use because of its graphical development features and BASIC heritage. It has been replaced with VB.NET, and is very similar to VBA (Visual Basic for Applications), the programming language for the Microsoft Office product line.
