run command line

[Bill Robinson]

I am trying to figure out how to run another program from within VB 6 using
command line parameters. I want the VB program to be running continuously,
and call the command line program at regular intervals using a timer. It's
for a console c++ program which performs a modification on wave files.

Is there a RUN command that will work? Or how can this be done?

Look up the SHELL command using Help. You can also create a batch file if
needed and still use SHELL to execute it.
