execute a .exe file and type a text string by vba on it

Hi all,

I have a software ending with .exe that i would like to open, type
the
word 'select' on it, press 'enter' and make it run from excel.

I used the following code but vba doesn't recognize 'wd' as an
application but as a number.

Dim wd As Application

wd = Shell("Y:\--\Sel.exe", 1)

Application.SendKeys "select"

Do you have any clues about?

Thanks,
Marco
