Hi.

I have the following in VBS:
\\site.com\srvr\Applications\SUB2\SUB3\FLDR\SysWOW64\wscript.exe N:\TEST\TEST.vbs


I thought these 2 lines in VBA would do the same thing, but I am getting error:

ChDir "\\site.com\srvr\Applications\SUB2\SUB3\FLDR\FLDR2\FLDR3\Bin"

Shell "wscript ""N:\TEST\TEST.vbs"" 


How can I convert that VBS code to Excel VBA?

Thanks

I've got to wonder, why is your batch calling wscript from a server? Is there 
a policy preventing you from running the local copy?

What he asked, never agree with what his code does.

hi.  its only because i am trying to let other people run the code from their machine.  and the software i have on my machine is not on theirs.  but there are DLL files i places on the LAN.

Hi Gerald,

simply  create a .bat file RUNTEST.bat in N:\TEST with one single command
\\site.com\srvr\Applications\SUB2\SUB3\FLDR\SysWOW64\wscript.exe 
N:\TEST\TEST.vbs
and excute this .bat file in a VBA script with
CALL SHELL ("N:\TEST\RUNTEST.bat",1)
or eventually  shorter with SHELL  "N:\TEST\RUNTEST.bat",1 what should also 
work (maybe this syntax requires a semicolon instead of a comma).

HTH,
wuez
