Reply: (edit)This is not the greatest way to do this...but maybe it'll do what you need... Dim BatchFile As String
BatchFile = "C:\tmpbatch.bat"
Open BatchFile For Output As #1
Print #1, "start C:\count.cmd"
Close #1
Shell BatchFile, vbMinimizedNoFocus
It basicly creates a batch file with your command in it and then shell to the batch file.
Hope this helps...
