Hi,

The Shell Function in VB "Runs an executable program and returns a Variant (Double) representing the program's task ID if successful, otherwise it returns zero."

But it doesnt runs a DOS command, for example:

I've created a Form with a button

sub Command1_click()
shell "copy c:\Folder\doc1.sql c:\Sql\doc2.txt"
end sub

when I run it, returns

Run-time error '53'
File Not Found
