Default Getting output of a called external executale

Hi all,

I want to call an external executable (.exe in my case) from an Excel-VBA
program.
I found the Shell function, but with this function it is only possible to
get an integer return value back.

Is there is any possibility to use pipes to get the output of the external
program to VBA?

Thanks Thorsten
