Dim ProcID As Integer
Dim strShell As String

strShell = "H:\mycommandfile\Test.bat"
ProcID = Shell(strShell, AppWinStyle.MinimizedFocus)

or

Proc = Shell("H:\mycommandfile\Test.bat", AppWinStyle.NormalNoFocus, True)

Shell "c:\hello.bat", vbNormalFocus

Or this if you do not want it to show
Shell "c:\hello.bat", vbHide

"c:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 4.0\Reader\acrord32.exe /t" & "C:\Program Files\Cache\2005082408325700001\26082626_1.PDF" & " PEERNET.DRV eTIFF 6.0"

also if you were to build this string you have no spaces after the ampersigns
