VB6 - Problem using the shell command to kick off a batch file.
rbruce5 asked on
Hi,
I'm running the following code from a VB6 application -
it's meant to kick off a ftp batch file I've created:
Shell App.Path & "\ftp.bat", vbNormalFocus
I'm using NT 4 and when I run the VB code the DOS window appears for a split second then disappears without executing the commands inside. The ftp batch file should take around 20 seconds to process.
If I manually double-click the batch file it works fine.
Any ideas?
