Shell command in VBA suddenly stops working

I have called an external process for many years using the Shell
command in VBA.

Suddenly yesterday it stopped working. I get a

Run Time error '5'
Invalid procedure call or argument.

On debug the return value is empty.
I use the fully qualified name for the external exe file.

Please I am at a loss. I have tried various help systems and got
nowhere. Is it a permissions thing?

Ian
