Hi Vergel,

Experimenting with it, this is what finally worked:

Shell "WScript " & """MyPath\MyScript.vbs"""

Thanks again so much for your assistance; could not have cracked it without
your help!

I tested it with a simple vbs script file that shows a message box and it
worked. Maybe try providing the full path to the script. Or in a command
prompt, go to the directory where the script is and type in

cscript Myscript.vbs

If you try to execute it from the command prompt does it work? I guess you
can also try using wscript just in case that makes a difference..

Maybe also check the version of cscript.exe and wscript.exe. I have v5.6
for both. Both files should be in the C:\windows\system32 folder.

Thanks for posting, using your suggestion no longer generates an error, but
the script fails to execute. I added a message box to first line in the
script file and it never fires.

Any other ideas?

Using Office 2003 and Windows XP;

I am using the following code line to run a VBScript file:

Shell "MyPath\MyScript.vbs"

But, I get error: Invalid procedure call or argument

Any idea how I can get this to run using Shell?

The path and file are correct since I can run it using the hyperlink method,
but this produces an undesired unsupressable warning.

Thanks in advance.
