Default using WScript.CreateObject("Wscript.Shell

Sub Test()
Dim objShell As Object
Set objShell = WScript.CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")
Wait = True
objShell.Run "c:\FSOTest\FTP02.BAT", 1, Wait
End sub

FTP02.BAT points to a script file that will "get" a file from an IBM
mainframe. (the FTP is tested and works as a stand-alone)

The "Set" statement gets a runtime error 424 "Object required"

I have added References for Microsoft VBScript Regular Expressions 1.0 and 5.5
pointing to C"\WINNT\System32\vbscript.dll\2 and ...\3 respectively (perhaps
there is a different reference that is needed?)

How do I make this code work from VBA?

I plan on making this run from an Open event to always refresh the data from
an external source before the spreadsheet data is shown.
