Re: system call
Try posting your question to a VB6 or Excel programming newsgroup. This is
a VB.Net newsgroup.
In .Net, you use "Process.Start" , but I don't think this will work for you.

Re: system call
the inbuilt function would be .
there is a object browser open it up and explore what the language provides
shell("C:\windo ws\system32\get mac")
if you need to more control over parameters and return codes / handles etc,
you will need the API function
SHELLEXECUTE( )
