DOS..BAT file problem from VB
 

I have a program that prints to the screen. From a DOS window, or with a BAT
file I can redirect the data to a file via the following command "Path Arg1
Arg2 Filename. But, when I execute the BAT file from a VB program, using
either Shell or FollowHyperlink, the output file is created or recreated but
remains empty. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

DOS..BAT file problem from VB
 

Tom -

This forum is for Excel questions, not DOS, so you might get a better answer
in another forum.

That said, try the pipe character (|) for redirection instead of the
greater-than sign (). Sometimes that works better.
