Jessica, I'd guess, based on the errors that you are getting, that the
shell command isn't setting the "working directory" for the application
it's launching, so that when you call c:\analog\analog.exe, the
application is running in the directory of the VB application, so
instead of looking for C:\ANALOG\LANG\uk.lng it's actually looking for
C:\VBDirectory\LANG\uk.lng.
VBs shell command doesn't seem to include a "working directory"
parameter, so I'm not sure what the best way to set it, but you might
just try
ChDir "C:\ANALOG"
just before your shell command. (You might need ChDrive "C" as well).

A few more details.....
I ran the program as many times as I could, and I saw 3 errors/warnings:
Warning: Failed to open configuration file analog.cfg: Ignoring it
Warning: Failed to open language file lang/uk.lng: Ignoring it
Fatal Error: Can't read language file lang/uk.lng: exiting
When double click on analog.exe or run it from the command prompt by typing
analog.exe, the program works fine and generates the report. Should I assume
that Analog can't run through Visual Basic?
Thanks,
Jessica
