Default How do I hide a shell command called from VBA in Excel

I am executing the Shell function in a Visual Basic program to validate the
contents of an Excel spreadsheet and transmit the data to a mainframe file
using the Windows FTP command.
I am using the Win32 API documented in the following knowledge base article:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/129796/EN-US/

The issue is that the user sees the command window open briefly. Does
anyone know of a way to hide the command window?
