Hey all! I have been trying to get answers to this question for quite
some time and I have made some progress, however, I have come into an interesting situation...I originally was looking to use an Excel based FTP upload/download VB script to pull information and update information from a central server for an application I am building would use. I have found a better solution using a script based FTP client to do the data pulling...this program I am using can be launched using the Command Prompt the "Call Shell" function to be exact. I have however come into a problem with using the Call Shell function. I have the program stored in the following directory with the exact command line I need to be issued however when I use the Call Shell function it creates multiple command windows and doesn't execute the program correctly...I need some help with getting the exact wording in VBA to lauch the following... C:\FTP\VbFTP.exe VbFtp.Txt The program is vbFTP.exe and the script is vbFTP.txt. The program is setup to process the script that comes after the program's name (VbFtp.exe). I have had numerous people attempt to help me with this problem, however, I am still in need of some assistance getting the directory and file above to be entered in to COMMAND and have the program run. It works fine creating a shortcut to the program with the script text file attached however it's not as simple as dropping a shortcut to the file in Excel because it just locks up the FTP program...It works great when I enter the information into COMMAND but I need Excel to do this for me...ANY HELP IS GREATLY APPRECIATED!! Once the process has been figured out I will release a new thread that will provide everyone the ability to use centeralized data for their applications and will provide a URL to this program I am using. Thank you so much for all those that have helped and those are going to help. |
