Maybe you could start a .bat file that changes to that drive and then changes to
that folder and then starts the program.

c:
cd\yourfolder
yourprogramnamehere yourinputfilehere

Hi,
I used shell command to start a MS-Dos application, it worked fine.
But, when I enter the input file name for the application. The program
tells me that file not found!! ( The program looks for the file in the
same directory ). I have tried running the application directly from
that directory and it finds the file and runs absolutely fine. Its just
that when I ask excel to run the application and when I type in the
input file name, it won't find that file.
What I am thinking is that... excel might be first saving that
application in some temp folder and then running it from there. I don't
knwo if I am right or wrong. Please help.

Thanks,
Riggi
