I am trying to execute a .exe from VBA with this line of code...

retval = Shell("c:\ftpqc.bat", 1)

I can run the ftpqc.bat by it's self and it works fine but I can not get it to run out of the VB, can someone please give me some advise

I'm guessing but maybe have a look @ the Run method in the VBA help. Maybe something like this? Dave
Code: 
Application.Run "ftpqc.bat"
