Excel 2000 Simple Shell Command Doesn't Work in Excel 2007
 

This is a very simple issue.

Attached to a command button is the script: Shell "P:\exe\ktbatch.exe"

This ran fine in Windows 2000 with Office 2000. When I loaded the
spreadsheet into a PC with XP Professional and Office 2007 the command
no longer works. No error message is generated, nothing seems to
happen when I click.

When I look at the shortcut on my desktop it has:

Target: P:\exe\ktbatch.exe
Start In: P:\runtime

Now I understand this may have something to do with where the
executable is running however the shortcut parameters haven't changed,
the shell script worked before, why not now?

Thanks!

Bumping this as I have not received any feedback yet. Despite a long
search I could not find any source on the net for VBA shell commands,
all are in response to very specific issues. Why is this so hard?
