Default Return Information from Shell Command

Hi All,

I have a dos command that lists the location of a config file associated
with a program.

This works fine from a dos prompt but can I use the Shell command in such a
way that the location of the config file can be returned into VBA?

Something like Var = Shell("Getconfig") (I am aware that doing this merely
would set Var = process thread associated with shell)

Thanks

Andi
