Default Shell & VBA


Ok, this question may be simple, but it's not clicking with me...
So in my vba code for excel I execute a number of .bat files using
SHELL command. Now, I needed to find a DOS program or command that
would do something special for me, so I found a xchange.exe on the web
that does EXACTLY what i'm looking for. So I set it into my Program
Files\my program directory, where my batch file is sitting at.
In my batch I run that file on a number of text files.
When manually I execute this batch file, it works fine.
But in VBA Shell it does not run.
Question, do I need to place or load that special exchange.exe into
something???
This is what i have in my batch file, or cmd file.
XCHANGE combined.txt "^39^44^39" "^39^124^39"
