Commands at the line prompt using Shell
Hello
Presently I invoke a batch file to initate the desired commands in the DOS Shell: RetVal = Shell("c:\SaleItems\SaveDataOut.bat", 1) but the macro has matured such that I would prefer to run line commands at the prompt using VBA (which would allow me to put in variables) instead of running the static batch file. Is there a way to do that? Please help. W |
